Telegram and xAI forge Grok AI deal

Telegram designed a deal with XAI XAI for Grok AI in the encrypted correspondence platform fabric.

This is not just a friendly cooperation. Xai puts dangerous money on the table – a cold $ 300 million, a mixture of solid and fair money. For Telegram, they will put 50 % of any GROK subscription money withdraws through its application.

This jump in the world of artificial intelligence cannot come in a more interesting time for telegram. While CEO Pavel Doro is fighting with some dangerous legal headaches, and governments in some corners of the world give the side platform, the company’s bank balance appears healthy.

In fact, Telegram is preparing to raise at least $ 1.5 billion by issuing five -year bonds. With a fairly seductive return, these bonds are also designed to help buy some debts from the 2021 bond version. It seems that adult investors like Blackrock, Mubadala and Citadel are still keen, indicating that they see a bright future for messaging service.

The numbers tell a great return story. You threw your mind again until 2023, and Telegram was sparing of a $ 173 million loss. He rapidly advanced to 2024, and they fluctuated on her head, as they made a profit worth $ 540 million from $ 1.4 billion of revenues. They also do not stop there, with optimistic expectations for 2025, referring to the profits of North of $ 700 million from the revenue bowl of $ 2 billion.

So, what will Grok really do for Telegram users? Hope is to bring the artificial intelligence of the conversation in Xai completely a new layer of intelligence to the platform. This includes the search for ultra -charging information, helping to formulate messages, and all kinds of automatic tricks. It is a play that can help Telegram to open the chances of liquefy and compete with Meta that brings Smarts that work with Llama materials to WhatsApp.

However, the integration of telegram of artificial intelligence occurs everything against a very exciting background. Pavel Duru, the man, was found at the head of the company, himself in hot water.

Once again in August 2024, Dorov was arrested in France and was later accused of dozens of charges. These are not simple violations as well; It includes serious accusations such as collusion in spreading children’s exploitation and drug trafficking substances, all of which are linked to allegations that Telegram was not doing enough for the police of its content.

Dorov was initially stuck in France, but by March 2025, he was given a gesture to leave the country, at least for a while. What happens after that with these legal battles is guessing anyone, but it is a huge cloud hanging on the company.

It is not just personal legal problems for Doro. The entire governments have begun to lose patience. For example, Vietnam had internet service providers for the Ministry of Science and Technology to withdraw the plug on a telegram. Their logic? They say the platform has become a hotbed of crime.

Vietnamese officials believe that 68 % of the country’s channels and groups in the country are not good, and they participate in everything from fraud to drug deals. Telegram said, for its part, that she was surprised by this step, and she insisted that she always tried to play the ball with legal requests from Vietnam.

Returning to the Xai partnership, it is a clear indication of the telegram that looks forward to the future and seeing artificial intelligence as a basic corner of it. The funds concerned and the promise of joint revenues show the extent of the capabilities of the two sides in introducing GROK into the hands of millions of users in Telegram.

The next twelve months will be a real test for telegram. Can the company create its way forward while showing that it can be a responsible player on the world stage?
