(TSLA.US) shareholders to the board was not approved, making the prospect of the Elon Musk-led automaker investing in its artificial intelligence startup uncertain. According to regulatory documents submitted by Tesla on Friday evening local time, **the non-binding proposal received 1.06 billion votes in favor, exceeding 916.3 million votes against, but the number of abstentions exceeded 473 million—more than double the number of abstentions for any other proposal in this year's proxy voting.** **![image.png](https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://img.zhitongcaijing.com/image/20251108/1762562893754011.png?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/interlace,1/resize,w_1440,h_1440/quality,q_95/format,jpg)** According to Tesla's bylaws, abstentions are considered votes against, so the proposal was not approved. Tesla's General Counsel, Brandon Elhardt, stated at Thursday's annual shareholder meeting that **since this was merely an advisory proposal, the board would consider subsequent actions based on the level of shareholder support.** Musk has publicly supported Tesla's investment in xAI and proposed a $5 billion injection last year. Moreover, the two companies have had business ties for some time: xAI spent nearly $200 million on Tesla's Megapack batteries in 2024, and Tesla has integrated xAI's chatbot Grok into its vehicles. However, Tesla emphasized in its proxy statement that **Musk is developing "new innovative processes" in his other businesses (including xAI) that "may not fully align with Tesla's mission, and therefore Tesla's resources should not be used to build them."** On the other hand, Tesla also pointed out that **Musk's exploration in the field of artificial intelligence "may further enhance autonomous decision-making and real-world adaptability, which will benefit Tesla's automotive and robotics products."** **The Tesla board neither explicitly supported nor opposed the proposal.** Board Chair Robin Denholm expressed hesitation about the investment prospects in an interview last week. Denholm stated, "The work that xAI and Tesla are doing in the field of artificial intelligence is fundamentally different." She described xAI's work as "very macro," while Tesla focuses on practical applications in the energy and transportation sectors. **If Tesla's investment in xAI materializes, it will further integrate Musk's business empire.** His rocket company SpaceX is one of the investors in xAI, and earlier this year, Musk merged xAI with his social networking company X. xAI trains its models using posts from X (formerly Twitter) and distributes Grok through the social network. Over the past year, Musk has raised significant funds for xAI to finance the company's infrastructure development, including data centers and expensive chips for training AI models. Reports indicate that xAI is raising $20 billion in debt and equity from several investors, including Nvidia, to support the acquisition of the technical equipment needed for its data center in Memphis ### 相关股票 - [Direxion Daily TSLA Bull 2X Shares (TSLL.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/TSLL.US.md) ## 相关资讯与研究 - [And then there were none: Musk's last xAI cofounder is out](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/280882190.md) - [Prediction: Elon Musk Will Merge Tesla With SpaceX Within 5 Years](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/281074670.md) - [Elon Musk’s last co-founder reportedly leaves xAI](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/280883620.md) - [SpaceX plans a $70-75 billion IPO at a $1.75 trillion valuation](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/281049607.md) - [When Will Elon Musk's Tesla And SpaceX Merge?
