↓ -2%Humane, a Saudi Public Investment Fund company specialising in AI solutions, has invested $3 billion in xAI as part of a Series E funding round. The investment was made before SpaceX's acquisition of xAI in early February, with Humane's stake subsequently converted to SpaceX shares. The deal makes Humane a significant minority shareholder and positions it to benefit from long-term capital returns. Humane CEO Tariq Amin said the investment reflects the company's belief in AI's transformative role and its ability to deploy capital in exceptional opportunities. The investment extends a broader partnership announced in November 2025, which committed to developing over 500 megawatts of data centres and AI computing infrastructure, alongside deploying xAI's Grok models in Saudi Arabia.
