xAI, an AI company owned by Elon Musk’s Grok AI, has recently made headlines for attracting top talent from Tesla to join their team. This comes after Musk was previously accused by Tesla shareholders of diverting GPU resources from Tesla to xAI.
Founded just last year, xAI has already made waves in the industry. Earlier this year, Musk posted on X stating that he couldn’t propel Tesla to the forefront of AI leadership unless he could control up to 25% of the voting power. The establishment of this new company has raised concerns about potential conflicts of interest, as Musk is currently facing legal action on the matter.
Electrek conducted research on LinkedIn and found that a significant number of xAI employees have made the move from Tesla to xAI. Some even made the switch during a period of increased pressure on Musk from Tesla shareholders.
