Elon Musk's AI company xAI is going through big changes. Eight co-founders have left this year as the startup gets ready after SpaceX's merger with xAI ahead of a possible IPO.

xAI staff cite pressure, Musk rebuilding
Not all departures were just about restructuring. Some left after tough assignments or pressure to improve AI models, while others cited a demanding work culture or tempting offers from rivals.
Still, Musk says he's rebuilding xAI from scratch, bringing in new talent, and pushing to catch up with giants like OpenAI, so expect more updates soon.
