xAI (Elon Musk's artificial intelligence startup) restructures into four units after co-founders exit

Following co-founder departures, Elon Musk says xAI must evolve like a living entity; the company is reorganized into four units and continues hiring to strengthen operations.

Summary

On February 12, Elon Musk announced via X that xAI restructured into four divisions—Grok, Programming, Imagine, and Macrohard—to improve operational efficiency. The shake-up follows co-founder Wu Yuhui’s departure on February 10 and an earlier exit by another co-founder. Musk described the organization as needing to evolve like a living entity and confirmed active hiring. The changes build on a recent $1.25 trillion merger with SpaceX, aimed at easing funding pressures for data and chip procurement.
