More than 50 researchers and engineers have left Elon Musk's newly merged SpaceXAI since February, following SpaceX's acquisition of xAI. Key departures span coding, world models, and Grok voice teams, with rivals Meta and Thinking Machines Labs poaching former staff. The pre-training team has shrunk to a handful of people after its lead departed, raising doubts about SpaceXAI's commitment to building frontier AI models. Contributing factors include Musk's extreme work culture, unrealistic deadlines, and employees cashing out equity ahead of an anticipated SpaceX IPO.
