SoftBank is in talks to buy a majority stake in @1xtech at a $6B valuation. This follows SoftBank selling its Boston Dynamics stake, anchoring Skild AI's round, and buying ABB's robotics division. Additionally, when NEO preorders opened at $20K or $499/month, 1X reportedly sold out its entire first year of production in 5 days.
