Telegram Bets Big on AI: $300M xAI Partnership Brings Grok to Messaging—TON Spikes 16%
Elon Musk’s xAI just inked a $300 million deal with Telegram—and crypto markets are already reacting. The messaging giant plans to integrate Grok, Musk’s ’rebellious’ AI chatbot, directly into its platform. Cue the speculative frenzy.
TON, Telegram’s affiliated blockchain token, ripped 16% on the news as traders piled in. Because nothing screams ’utility’ like a messaging app’s crypto pumping on an AI partnership—classic crypto theater.
Grok’s promised ’anti-woke’ edge might spice up Telegram’s notoriously unmoderated channels. But let’s be real: this is less about tech synergy and more about two disruption-obsessed billionaires cross-pollinating their hype trains. The real winner? Arbitrage bots front-running retail.
