Elon Musk’s Venture Causes Unknown Crypto to Rally 780%

Billionaire Elon Musk has launched a new AI (artificial intelligence) venture called xAI. The new project falls under the “X” umbrella brand, alongside companies such as Tesla. Twitter, on the other hand, is no longer called “Twitter” on paper as it has merged with X Corp. According to Musk, the new project is aimed at, or to “understand reality.” However, the launch caused an unknown and unrelated crypto token, XAI, to rally.

After the launch of Musk’s xAI, the XAI crypto token went from $0.0000000010 to $0.0000000088, a 780% gain. However, the token’s price has since fallen by 50%, and it is currently trading at around $0.0000000044.
