Toncoin Falls 7% as Elon Musk Refutes Telegram Founder’s Claims of a $300 Million xAI Partnership

  • Telegram and Elon Musk's xAI announced an agreed-in-principle one-year partnership on May 28 to integrate the Grok AI chatbot into Telegram.
  • The announcement led to confusion because Musk denied any signed agreement, stating xAI had not formalized a deal despite the partnership being agreed in principle.
  • The agreement would grant Telegram $300 million through a combination of cash and stock, along with a 50% share of the revenue generated from Grok chatbot subscriptions purchased via its platform.
  • Toncoin, Telegram's native token, surged nearly 19% on the partnership news but fell almost 7% to $3.33 after Musk’s clarification that no deal was finalized.
  • The situation highlights market sensitivity to the prospective Grok integration and suggests the partnership's formal completion and launch remain pending without a set date.
