Seems like xAI is having a Fairchild semiconductor moment, saw at least half a dozen people posting they are leaving xAI, and seems like all of them are starting something new, together.

Is that surprising ? The merger doesn't make any sense at all. Everybody knows it's a bailout and Musk's empire is running out of money - it's almost the last attempt to save it. He still has 2 more jokers left - SpaceX IPO or merge SpaceX with Tesla. But the writing is already on the wall.

If I thought that AI was going to change the world, and I found out that my AI company was instead going to be used to raise money to cross-fund something else that was failing, I might well leave too.

How many people work there that six would be considered "mass?"

Musk burns through people at his companies. This isn’t that surprising. They’ll trick someone else into working there.

Redundancies after the merger? “Resigning” to save face?
