Due to tensions between Elon Musk and U.S. President Donald Trump, Morgan Stanley is expanding its investor list to raise more buyers for its $5 billion xAI bond. The deal, which initially attracted more than $3.5 billion in subscriptions, was expected to be oversubscribed, but as of Monday demand barely hit the target level. In order to stabilize the progress of the deal, Morgan Stanley began to contact small lenders that had not been invited to participate before, reflecting that investors’ attitudes towards Musk’s project may change subtly due to political factors.
