Elon Musk may be right when he told Mark Zuckerberg that Meta engineers are joining xAI

Elon Musk claims xAI is attracting top engineers from Meta and Google with its “hyper merit-based” culture, not just high salaries. A report indicates xAI has hired at least 40 former Google employees since 2023, supporting Musk’s claim. Despite some departures, xAI’s demanding environment and ambitious mission continue to attract talent.
