As I understand it, neither OpenAI nor xAI are publicly traded companies. How can I invest in them?

Buy MSFT who plans to buy 20-30% of Open AI.

Or, just buy the AI suppliers for probably more upside:

Seems like Microsoft would be your best bet.

-Microsoft is OpenAI's biggest financial backer and exclusive cloud provider, with a 49% stake in its for-profit arm, OpenAI LP.
(Microsoft doesn't directly own 49% of OpenAI as a stock owner, but rather has a 49% profit-sharing agreement with OpenAI's for-profit subsidiary, with any profits beyond a certain cap going to the original OpenAI nonprofit foundation.)

-Microsoft also acquired SwiftKey in 2016. The AI-powered predictive text technology developed by SwiftKey was integrated into Microsoft's software to benefit mobile users.

-Microsoft has also acquired the following AI-related companies:

Semantic Machines: A conversational AI startup acquired in 2018.
Bonsai: An industrial AI platform acquired in 2018.
Lobe: A company with a drag-and-drop tool for building AI models, acquired in 2018.
Aorato: A cybersecurity firm with advanced threat detection technology, acquired in 2014.
In 2024, Microsoft made a "pseudo-acquisition" of Inflection AI, licensing its AI software and hiring most of its core team and co-founder Mustafa Suleyman.

Robinhood announced this year they're going to be introducing PE options. Of course, you won't actually own any OpenAI but you'll be invested in something that does.

XOVR has space x as it's biggest holding I believe.

There are a number of mutual funds that seem to offer exposure to private shares purchased in the secondary market.

The question is - why would you want to?

You can buy both in the secondary market. Employees will sell some stock for liquidity etc and these both can be bought pre IPO. Its almost always going to get stepped on between brokers unless you have a direct connection. If you're looking for 1mm plus in openAI, I have a source.
Much easier solution- Any accredited investor can buy both at Forge

They'll likely have you buy 100k of each and hit you with about 4 percent in fees due to demand for both stocks
