The AI team personally assembled by Musk has completely fallen apart! According to CaiLian News, with the departure of the last co-founder, Ross Nordeen, last week, all 11 founding members of xAI have left the company— This 36-year-old "right-hand man" of Musk used to report directly to him and was responsible for coordinating all core company affairs. The tipping point? The forced merger of xAI with SpaceX in early February, which led to the mass departure of co-founders. Even Musk admitted: "xAI was not initially built correctly and is being rebuilt from the ground up." What does this mean for xAI? After merging with SpaceX, xAI's overall valuation has soared to $1.25 trillion. Musk even plans to launch data centers into space, using the Starlink satellite network to power AI with computing resources—sounds like sci-fi, but SpaceX's execution speaks for itself. However, Grok's core architect, the inventor of the Adam optimizer, the head of pre-training... the ones leaving aren't just ordinary employees—they're the real tech experts. Currently, xAI is losing nearly $1 billion per month, and Grok's technical capabilities still lag significantly behind OpenAI and Anthropic. Right now, it's attracting users more with its "looser moderation" than with hardcore tech, but this path doesn't seem sustainable.
