Saudi Tech Firm Al-Moammar Invests $1M in Elon Musk's xAI Corp. as Part of $18B Series B Funding

Saudi tech firm Al-Moammar Information Systems (MIS) is investing $1 million in a controlling stake in Elon Musk's artificial intelligence company, xAI Corp., as part of xAI's Series B funding round with a pre-money valuation of $18 billion.
MIS aims to capitalize on growth opportunities in the AI sector and had previously allocated SR40 million ($10.6 million) for global AI investments.

xAI's focus is on using AI to accelerate human scientific discovery.

MIS, a technology company, has earned the Cisco Master Security Specialization in Saudi Arabia, demonstrating its ability to provide advanced Cisco solutions through expertise, skills, and services.

Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, is pushing forward in the tech sector with his new company, "Understand the Universe," which aims to advance AI technology through initiatives like AlphaStar, AlphaCode, and Inception, as well as Minerva, GPT-3.5, and GPT-4.

The company, launched in July 2023, collaborates with X Corp to reach over 500 million users of the X app, previously Twitter.

MIS's achievement with Cisco and Musk's advancements in AI technology are separate but notable developments in the tech industry.

Saudi Arabia is committed to investing in artificial intelligence (AI) technology to promote sustainable global development and become a global tech leader by 2030.

Finance Minister Mohammed Al-Jadaan emphasized this dedication at the G7 finance ministers' meeting in Stresa, Italy.

The minister also discussed a multidimensional approach to managing debt vulnerabilities in a session titled "Addressing Financing Needs of Vulnerable Countries."
