Elon Musk’s AI startup xAI is witnessing the exodus of cofounders at a continuing pace. As reported by Business Insider, Zihang Dai left the company this week and his xAI badge disappeared from his X (formerly known as Twitter) profile. On the other hand, Guodong Zhang, one of Elon Musk’s closest collaborators has now informed the colleagues that he plans to leave the company in the coming days. These departures for xAI follow a string of exits since January including Toby Pohlen, Jimmy Ba, Tony Wu, and Greg Yang. Once Dai and Zhang depart, only two of the original 11 cofounders Manuel Kroiss and Ross Nordeen will remain. The rapid thinning of the founding team raises questions about stability inside Musk’s AI venture.
