What does OpenAI have over XAI to make such a difference in valuation?

XAi includes x/twitter and lots of hardware and is valued at $113 billion

XAI does not include Twitter, as far as I know? Aren't they separate entities? But Twitter can't be worth more than a couple of tens of billions at the most.

Things OpenAI has that XAI doesn't:

Hundreds of millions, if not already a billion, active users. A household brand-name. >$10B in revenue.

In comparison XAI's revenue appears to be in the hundreds of millions/year and their brand is currently in the gutter after the recent spate of scandals. Their main differentiating factor is using their AI to power an anime waifu[0] companion app.

[0] I don't think it's judgmental to use this term when they were doing so in their own job ad titles

Does xAI have a similar amount of revenue/customers? (I've personally never heard anyone talk about using it -- except on Twitter.)

I think _not_ having Elon Musk is worth a couple of hundred billion in 2025, the guy has become a random liability generator.

It doesnt have an owner who is open nazi sympathiser and doesnt wage frequent petty verbal wars with most powerful person on the planet, at least on the paper?

trump could make musk go away in a blink, literally abd figuratively. He wont do it, probably, we will see.
