Mars Finance news: According to a report by Business Insider, SpaceX executive Michael Nicolls said in a memo sent to xAI employees that the company’s compute training performance is “embarrassingly low,” and he also clearly stated that xAI is “clearly behind” its competitors in the race. Earlier reports indicated that xAI is experiencing employee attrition and team reshuffling. The memo announced an immediate reorganization of the engineering team, appointing several new leaders to oversee modules such as pre-training, post-training, and infrastructure. This move is part of Elon Musk’s comprehensive rebuild efforts after SpaceX acquired xAI in February 2026, aiming to quickly catch up with competitors such as OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google.
