What started as a massive AI breakthrough quickly turned into tech drama! Telegram CEO Pavel Durov announced a flashy $300 million partnership with Elon Musk’s xAI to bring the chatbot Grok into Telegram. The news caused a TONcoin price surge 🚀 and got everyone buzzing about futuristic AI features coming this summer. But within hours, Elon Musk responded on X (formerly Twitter) with a cold, hard truth: "No deal has been signed." 😳
That one sentence sent TONcoin($TON ) into a tailspin, dropping from $3.60 to $3.28 in minutes 📉. While Durov later admitted that the agreement was only “agreed in principle,” investors weren’t thrilled. The markets don’t like uncertainty, and this sudden contradiction between two tech titans left traders confused and skeptical. TON, deeply tied to Telegram’s ecosystem, is now at risk of a deeper correction if this deal doesn’t move forward. ⚠️
So what now? The deal might still happen — eventually. But without signed papers, it’s just talk. Meanwhile, doubts are growing about how reliable these major tech announcements really are. 🤔 Add to that Grok’s controversial past (including some awkward AI answers 👀), and you’ve got a recipe for hesitation. Until Musk and Durov get on the same page — officially — the AI hype train is stuck at the station. 🚉
