Well not until you try to sell it and find a buyer.
I mean sure xAI does technically have a market value we just don't know what it is because there is no market that would allow us to determine it.
Of course the price paid by private investors do provide some estimate but a company .e.g. raising $5 billion at a valuation of $150 billions or something like doesn't necessarily have a market value which is that high.
