xAI Co-Founders Flee After SpaceX Merger

The latest in a series of departures from xAI come after its acquisition by SpaceX, with two co-founders leaving the company and announcing new ventures of their own. Yuhai (Tony) Wu, one of the company’s founders, shared his decision to leave on social media, citing the need for “my next chapter.” Jimmy Ba, another co-founder, followed suit, stating that he was ready to “recalibrate my gradient on the big picture.” These departures mark a significant shift in the company’s leadership and raise questions about the future of xAI as part of the SpaceX conglomerate.
