Musk ousts more xAI founders as AI coding effort falters, FT reports

Elon Musk has triggered a fresh wave of job cuts at his AI firm xAI, with more cofounders pushed out amid his dissatisfaction with the underperformance of the startup’s coding division, the Financial Times reported on Friday.

Musk last month overhauled the management of xAI, ahead of a planned initial public offering that could ‌rank among ⁠the largest ⁠ever, after merging the company with his rocket firm SpaceX.

He bought in “fixers” from SpaceX and Tesla to audit xAI, who let go of several employees whose work was deemed inadequate, according to FT.
