Maybe xAI has some interesting way to make money in other places, like Google paying Mozilla for making Google search the default choice.

It's the same reason for Google and xAI - they want user data and are more than happy to pay for it.

Google is paying Mozilla to keep Firefox on life support - so that they can pretend Chrome has competitors
