Details of the Tuesday night meeting were previously reported by The New York Times, which may have influenced xAI&rsquo;s decision to post the video online.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The full video reveals significant new details about Musk&rsquo;s plans for the AI lab, including its product roadmap and its ongoing ties to the X platform.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most immediate revelation concerned a string of departing employees, which Musk described as layoffs resulting from a changing organizational structure at the company. While reorganizations are common, the breadth of the departures has caused significant confusion, particularly as it has meant the loss of a significant portion of the founding team.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&ldquo;As a company grows, especially as quickly as xAI, the structure must evolve,&rdquo; Musk said on X. &ldquo;This unfortunately required parting ways with some people. We wish them well in future endeavors.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new organizational system splits xAI into four primary teams: one focused on the Grok chatbot (including voice), another for the app&rsquo;s coding system, another for the Imagine video generator, and finally a team focused on the Macrohard project, which spans from simple computer use simulation to modeling entire corporations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&ldquo;[Macrohard] is able to do anything on a computer that a computer is able to do,&rdquo; Toby Pohlen, who will lead the project under the new organizational structure, told his colleagues. &ldquo;There should be rocket engines fully designed by AI.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><span class=\"wp-block-image__credits\"><strong>Image Credits:<\/strong>xAI (screenshot)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"internal-linking-related-contents\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jobuzo.com\/en\/12-weeks-jail-for-school-it-support-technician-who-took-upskirt-videos-of-teachers\/\" class=\"template-1\"><span class=\"cta\">News :<\/span><span class=\"postTitle\">&lt;div&gt;12 weeks' jail for school IT support technician who took upskirt videos of teachers&lt;\/div&gt;<\/span><\/a><\/div><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The all-hands also featured claims about new usage and revenue figures for xAI and X. Nikita Bier, X&rsquo;s head of product, said X had &ldquo;just crossed&rdquo; $1 billion in annual recurring revenue from subscriptions, which he attributed to a marketing push during the holidays.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-techcrunch-inline-cta\">\n<div class=\"inline-cta__wrapper\" readability=\"5.5\">\n<p>Techcrunch event<\/p>\n<div class=\"inline-cta__content\" readability=\"23.538461538462\">\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"inline-cta__location\">Boston, MA<\/span><br>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"inline-cta__separator\">|<\/span><br>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"inline-cta__date\">June 23, 2026<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, executives said the xAI&rsquo;s Imagine tool is generating 50 million videos a day, and more than 6 billion images over the past 30 days, according to their internal metrics.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But it&rsquo;s difficult to separate those figures from the flood of deepfake pornography that overtook X during that same period. The X platform saw engagement skyrocket as AI-generated explicit images became more prevalent, and with an estimated 1.8 million sexualized images generated over just nine days, the image-generation figures likely include substantial amounts of this controversial content.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most eye-catching part of the presentation came at the end, when Musk reemphasized the importance of space-based data centers despite the technical challenges involved. Musk went still further, envisioning a moon-based factory for AI satellites, including a lunar mass driver &mdash; essentially an electromagnetic catapult &mdash; to launch them. With such infrastructure, Musk said, one could launch an AI cluster capable of capturing significant portions of the sun&rsquo;s total energy output or even expanding to other galaxies.<\/p>\n<div class=\"internal-linking-related-contents\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jobuzo.com\/en\/migrant-acquitted-in-first-trial-over-us-border-military-zones\/\" class=\"template-1\"><span class=\"cta\">News :<\/span><span class=\"postTitle\">Migrant acquitted in first trial over US border military zones<\/span><\/a><\/div><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&ldquo;It&rsquo;s difficult to imagine what an intelligence of that scale would think about,&rdquo; Musk said, &ldquo;but it&rsquo;s going to be incredibly exciting to see it happen.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><sub>xAI lays out interplanetary ambitions in public all-hands<\/sub><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Wednesday, xAI took the rare step of publishing a full 45-minute all-hands meeting video on X, making it publicly accessible.
