Elon Musk's xAI reported deepening losses of $1.46 billion in Q3 2025, accelerating from $1 billion in Q1, as the company aggressively invests in AI infrastructure for Tesla's Optimus robots. The startup burned through $7.8 billion in cash during the first nine months of 2025 while nearly doubling quarterly revenue to $107 million.

The AI firm's $20 billion funding round at a $230 billion valuation underscores investor confidence in its mission to develop autonomous systems for humanoid robotics. "We're building the brain for Tesla's mechanical workforce," Musk stated during June's funding announcement, referencing plans to deploy AI across manufacturing and service sectors.

Financial documents reveal the staggering costs of data center construction, top-tier talent acquisition, and software development. While revenue growth appears robust, xAI may fall short of its $500 million annual target—a reminder that transformative AI requires patience and capital.
