Elon Musk's xAI Quarterly Losses Continue to Widen

Golden Finance reports that, according to foreign media citing internal documents, Musk's xAI is rapidly burning through funds, with losses continuously increasing. The company has invested heavily in building data centers, recruiting talent, and developing software that will ultimately power humanoid robots. The documents show that xAI posted a net loss of $1.46 billion in the third quarter, up from $1 billion in the first quarter. In the first nine months of 2025, the company spent a total of $7.8 billion in cash. Sources familiar with the matter revealed that, like other rapidly growing AI startups, the funds raised in recent financing rounds are being quickly deployed. During an investor conference call, senior executives of xAI told investors that the current focus is on accelerating the development of AI agents and other software products. These products will be integrated into the so-called "Macrohard" — a term Musk explained as referring to a pure AI software company, a pun on "Microsoft" — until they ultimately support the development of Optimus.
