xAI Loses Last Original Cofounder Amid Rebuild
Ross Nordeen, the last remaining original cofounder of Elon Musk's xAI, left the company on Friday, according to people familiar with the matter. His exit follows a series of departures after SpaceX acquired xAI in February and Musk said the firm is being "rebuilt from the foundations up." The reorganization and hires signal talent reshuffling ahead of SpaceX's planned IPO.
