According to BlockBeats, on July 24, Elon Musk initiated a community poll on the X platform to gauge public opinion on whether Tesla should invest $5 billion in xAI. The poll assumes that xAI's valuation has been determined by several reliable external investors. Musk emphasized that the poll is merely a test and that any actual decision would require approval from the board of directors and a shareholder vote.

As of the time of reporting, over 38,000 people have participated in the poll, with 72.8% of respondents in favor of the investment.
