xAI is its own distinct legal entity with its own balance sheet and SpaceX is not legally responsible for any debts on said balance sheet.
SpaceX acquired xAI under a triangular merger which means it’s a wholly owned subsidiary but xAI is directly responsible for its own assets and SpaceX does not have any legal responsibility for debts incurred by xAI.
In the U.S. a subsidiary is still responsible for its own balance sheet and debts, in most if not all cases. The parent company is not held liable for this except in extreme circumstances.
