Crypto Briefing reported that xAI allegedly did not pay employees $420 for tax returns used in training Grok. The report adds a new detail to earlier accounts by stating the tax returns were tied to Grok training, and says xAI’s data practices could undermine trust and create risks for its reputation and investor confidence, particularly in public-sector contexts. No additional factual details were provided on how many employees were affected, when the payments were due, or whether xAI responded.
