Crypto news: On April 9, according to Business Insider, SpaceX executive Michael Nicolls said in a memo sent to xAI employees that the company’s computing training performance is “embarrassingly low,” and he also made it clear that xAI is “clearly behind” its competitors in the race. Earlier reports had said that xAI is experiencing employee attrition and team reshuffling; the memo announced that the engineering team would be reorganized immediately and that several new leaders would be appointed to handle modules such as pre-training, post-training, and infrastructure. This move is part of the comprehensive rebuild pushed by Elon Musk after SpaceX acquired xAI in February 2026, aiming to quickly catch up with competitors such as OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google.
