xAI has now seen eight of its original co-founders depart, with Ross Nordeen becoming the latest to exit. The wave of departures has taken place since January, raising questions about leadership stability at the company founded by Elon Musk. While reasons for the exits have not been fully detailed, the turnover comes as xAI competes in an increasingly intense artificial intelligence race against major tech rivals.
