As part of the agreement, Telegram will receive $300 million in cash and equity from xAI. Telegram will also receive 50 percent of revenue from xAI subscriptions sold via its platform.
Edit: Looks like the deal changed rather quickly.

This is old news already; xAI backed out of the deal this morning.

Either way, this “integration” is just Grok being available on Telegram for Premium subscribers only. It’s just like any other bot on the app.
Thanks for the correction!
“No deal has been signed” does not mean they’ve backed out.
Yeah it’s pretty much unclear
Looks like musk got his feelings hurt over it, interesting.
Likely because Telegram pointing out that xAI is paying them instead of the other way around is hugely embarrassing.
