Saudi Arabia's HUMAIN invested $3 billion in xAI's Series E round just before SpaceX acquired the company in the largest M&A deal ever, valuing the combined entity at $1.25 trillion. This strategic move converted HUMAIN into a significant SpaceX shareholder and builds on their November partnership to develop 500 megawatts of AI data center infrastructure. The investment signals a major shift where sovereign wealth funds are treating AI as a strategic asset class rather than speculative bets, accelerating the global race for compute capacity and infrastructure. This positions Saudi Arabia firmly in the AI power game while diversifying beyond oil dependency.
