Elon Musk Polls Users on $5 Billion Tesla Investment in xAI

Tesla CEO seeks public opinion on funding his AI startup, amid falling profit margins and resource allocation concerns.

Musk launched a poll on social platform X to gauge support for Tesla investing $5 billion in xAI.
The poll follows Tesla's report of its lowest profit margin in five years due to price cuts and increased AI spending.
xAI, founded by Musk, aims to advance Tesla's self-driving technology and data center capabilities.
Critics argue Musk's resource allocation could conflict with Tesla's interests, citing past diversions of talent and chips.
Early poll results show strong public support, with over 70% in favor of the investment.
