As part of the agreement, Telegram will receive $300 million in cash and equity from xAI. Telegram will also receive 50 percent of revenue from xAI subscriptions sold via its platform.
Edit: Looks like the deal changed rather quickly.

It wasn’t “half the internet unusable”. I live in Russia, please stop dramatizing.
It was blocked well enough, but Russian state officials had their unofficial channels there for all that time.
Considering “the founder’s” history, I’d assume Telegram to be Russian government-compromised by default.
Also it’s not a source of news at all. That’s like calling “the Internet” your source. It’s a crowd. Some channels are better than others, but ultimately it can be compared to Facebook.
Everything behind the same AWS and Google IPs which is a lot.
So you pay taxes to Putin. Good to know who actually helps funding the regime.
I suggest you go someplace else.
I won’t take this from a jerk from likely one of the countries buying fossil fuels from said regime, that have also supported it after a few falsified elections starting in 1996, which is also the year I was born.
And of course “paying taxes to Putin” can’t be even compared to what TG is doing, so just shut up and go do something you know how to do, like I dunno what.
