SpaceXAI Faces Talent Exodus Post-Merger
SpaceXAI, the newly rebranded entity from Elon Musk's SpaceX and xAI merger, is experiencing a significant talent drain. Over 50 researchers and engineers have left since February, including key figures in coding and AI model development. This exodus raises questions about the company's commitment to leading AI model development, especially as rivals like Meta and Thinking Machine Labs attract former staff. The departures are partly attributed to Musk's demanding work culture and unrealistic deadlines, which have reportedly led to compromised project quality. This situation casts doubt on SpaceXAI's future in AI innovation.
