Mass Resignation from xAI
13 comments
Is that surprising ? The merger doesn't make any sense at all. Everybody knows it's a bailout and Musk's empire is running out of money - it's almost the last attempt to save it. He still has 2 more jokers left - SpaceX IPO or merge SpaceX with Tesla. But the writing is already on the wall.
If I thought that AI was going to change the world, and I found out that my AI company was instead going to be used to raise money to cross-fund something else that was failing, I might well leave too.
If you thought that, you would be really delusional about what is actually failing.
Care to elaborate?
Both will fail. But SpaceX hasn't yet failed at refueling a starship in orbit, and may still be riding pretty high for an IPO this year. People are quitting because XAI is going to be a relatively small part of the valuation of the roll-up, and the value of the cofounders shares and lots of people's options are going to be disappointing. XAI cofounders and people with options also got diluted by merging with Twitter. They are doing the S-1 math and they don't like it.
this gonna age like milk
this move denominates everything by energy instead of money
those who left are anticipating it too, everything else theyll build is towards that
you either see things clicking together or you dont

This is just schizo-posting.
Redundancies after the merger? “Resigning” to save face?
What are they quitting from? Twitter? Xai? Spacex?
How many people work there that six would be considered "mass?"
Valid point. I am often amazed the reports (all sides of the political aisle) will list a number without context. Twice as many as last year. Went from 1 to 2, and we want you to be upset. It forces me to check multiple sites to understand the real numbers.
In the past I have attributed this to people being bad with numbers, but it is more and more apparent it is to hid the real meaning and push an agenda.

all is fair in love and clickbait
Musk burns through people at his companies. This isn’t that surprising. They’ll trick someone else into working there.
