Tesla’s ten -year compensation scheme unveiling Elon Musk can become a trillionier, inadvertently attracted attention to a vague branding of one of its companies, XAI. In his proxy statement on 5 September 2025, Tesla underlined Musk’s leadership and track records, especially referred to “discovery artificial intelligence or ‘XAI”. Business Insider reviewed public documents and filing to investigate whether Monikar matches the activities of the company or if it was adopted without only a defined meaning.

The compensation scheme spread over 16 pages in Tesla’s proxy statement anchors the ambitious goals for earnings and development, possibly providing a musk ownership of more than a quarter that can become a $ 8.5 trillion firm. Tesla’s argument is Musk’s success with companies such as Space Examping Technologies Corp, Neurlink Corp and Companies such as Explorery Artificial Intelligence or ‘Zai’. However, “the use of searchful artificial intelligence or ‘XAI’ creates some illusion, as it is not an official or general recognized which explains the branding of the company.

Tesla’s documents have referred to the company as both XAI and X.AI Corp, yet other official records or public statements are “discovered artificial intelligence or ‘word”, which is formally accepted. Business insider notes that “searchful artificial intelligence.” XAI’s website, Nawaada Articles, Najai’s native articles, Najai’s nominations, publicly filing, or focus For which XAI is a party.

The phrase “searchful artificial intelligence” and “searchful AI” do not enjoy online use online. Business Insider reports that while some companies refer to “searching AI initiative” in public statements, and some academicians use a brief name “XAI” to refer to “interpretable” or “searchful” in research papers, there are very few decisive proofs to tie the company name for any of these interpretations.

In particular, many top blogs have claimed that XAI is a shorthand for the name “searchful artificial intelligence”, yet rarely provides sources for this claim. Additionally, the use of the words “searching AI” on social media is sporadic. In July and August 2025, Musk’s chatbot Groke mentioned the word in nine separate posts on X, accounting for almost all uses of expression during that period, but was not used as an alternative name for XAI. In this context, a partner, inspired by Isaac Asimov, was focused on chatbot’s conversation with Isaac, which featured “searchful AI” interactions in the search for interaction.

When contacted for clarification about the company’s name, Tesla and XAI did not answer the questions of the business insider whether Xai stands for “searchful artificial intelligence”. Lack of response maintains the secret around the branding of the company, opening the interpretation open and without an official confirmation from the musk or its companies.

XAI, or X.Aai Corp, was established in Nevada in March 2023. Musk started the company in a livestream in July, where he said, “Xai’s overroach goal is to build a good AGI only to try to understand the universe, using a brief name for artificial general intelligence. This suggests a broad, philosophical purpose rather than a specific explanation for the name of the public mission company. Earlier this year, XAI has done Musk’s social media business, X.
