✴️ | ✴️Why the $300M Telegram–Grok Deal Didn’t Happen Telegram was in talks to integrate Grok (xAI) into the platform, but the deal never materialized. — Talks stalled mainly over user privacy and data access concerns — Telegram was unwilling to allow AI access to private chats and user data — Similar discussions with Perplexity also failed for the same reasons — Elon Musk later clarified that no final deal was signed — Ultimately, Telegram chose not to proceed with any deep AI integration and is instead building its own decentralized AI system, Cocoon (@Cocoon). 🌟 Telegram chose privacy and control over monetization, even at the cost of big AI partnerships. @ParadoxBackup | Source: Durov's Code
