SpaceX is about to go public and xAI urgently reorganizes its engineering team to improve competitiveness

According to BusinessInsider, SpaceX executive Michael Nicolls pointed out in a memo to xAI employees that the company's computing training performance was "embarrassingly low" and made clear that xAI had "significantly fallen behind" its competitors in the competition. Previous reports pointed out that xAI is experiencing staff turnover and team adjustments.<br /> The memorandum announced the immediate reorganization of the engineering team and appointed multiple new leaders to be responsible for pre-training, post-training, infrastructure and other modules. This move is a comprehensive reconstruction promoted by ElonMusk after SpaceX acquired xAI in February 2026, aiming to quickly catch up with competitors such as OpenAI, Anthropic and Google.
