Musk's xAI Quarterly Loss Widens Further

January 9 — Per foreign media reports citing internal documents, Elon Musk’s xAI is burning through cash rapidly, with losses escalating as the company has poured money into building data centers, recruiting talent, and developing software that will eventually power humanoid robots. The documents show xAI posted a net loss of $1.46 billion in Q3 2025, up from $1 billion in Q1 2025. In the first nine months of 2025, the company spent a total of $7.8 billion in cash. According to sources familiar with the matter, like other fast-growing AI startups, funds from xAI’s recent funding round are being deployed quickly. On an investor conference call, xAI’s senior leadership told investors the company’s core focus right now is accelerating the development of AI agents and other software products. These products will feed into the so-called “Macrohard”—Musk has explained the term refers to a purely AI software firm, with the name a pun on “Microsoft”—before ultimately providing technical support for Optimus.
