Feb 11 (Reuters) – Elon Musk stated on Wednesday that xAI has laid off some employees as part of a broader reorganization aimed at improving efficiency as the artificial ininformigence firm expands.
The latest alters at xAI come days after Musk’s SpaceX stated it will purchase xAI to create a $1.25 trillion company with plans to go public later this year to support finance the billionaire’s ambitions to put data centers in space.
“xAI was reorganized a few days ago to improve speed of execution,” Musk stated in a post on X, adding that it “unfortunately required parting ways with some people.”
On Tuesday, xAI co-founders Tony Wu and Jimmy Ba stated in social media posts that they had resigned from the artificial ininformigence firm they started with Musk less than three years ago, adding to an exodus from the company that has left it with half of its 12 co-founders.
