In a twist that could make even the most seasoned soap opera writer blush, the illustrious Elon Musk has taken to the digital stage to vehemently deny the existence of a finalized agreement between his brainchild, xAI, and the ever-ambitious Telegram. This, of course, comes hot on the heels of a rather grandiose proclamation from Telegram’s own maestro, Pavel Durov, who had just yesterday unveiled what he claimed to be a monumental partnership.
Ah, but what a tangled web we weave! Durov had painted a picture of a one-year deal that would usher Grok—xAI’s charmingly chatty AI chatbot—into the eager arms of Telegram’s vast user base. The announcement, dripping with optimism, suggested that Telegram would not only embrace Grok but would also bask in the financial glow of receiving a whopping 50% of all xAI subscription sales made through the app. Durov, with the flair of a magician revealing his final trick, declared the deal to be worth a staggering $300 million, a delightful mélange of cash and equity.
Yet, lo and behold, on Thursday, Musk, the self-proclaimed arbiter of truth, took to X (formerly known as Twitter, because why not?) to deliver a succinct yet thunderous rebuttal: “No deal has been signed.”

This brief yet piercing missive sent ripples of confusion across the digital landscape, leaving many to wonder if Durov had perhaps been daydreaming when he crafted his original announcement.
In the aftermath of Musk’s declaration, Durov, ever the diplomat, clarified that while the two titans had indeed agreed “in principle,” the final paperwork was still lounging in the realm of the hypothetical. In layman’s terms: no formal contract exists—at least not yet, folks!
This delightful drama unfolds at a particularly pivotal moment for Telegram, as Durov’s Grok announcement coincided with whispers of the company’s ambitious plan to raise a cool $1.5 billion through a new bond issuance. Talk about timing!
For now, the fate of the xAI–Telegram partnership hangs in the balance, a tantalizing enigma. While both parties seem to be playing a game of digital footsie, Musk’s emphatic statement has made one thing abundantly clear: until the ink is dry, there is no deal. And in the world of tech, that’s as good as a cosmic joke! 🤖💔
