<div id="readability-page-1"><div> <p id="speakable-summary">On Wednesday, xAI took the rare step of publishing a full 45-minute all-hands meeting video on X, making it publicly accessible. Details of the Tuesday night meeting were previously reported by The New York Times, which may have influenced xAI’s decision to post the video online.</p> <p>The full video reveals significant new details about Musk’s plans for the AI lab, including its product roadmap and its ongoing ties to the X platform.</p> <figure><div> <blockquote><div dir="ltr" lang="en"><p>Since xAI was formed just 30 months ago, the small and talented team has made remarkable progress.</p><p>The future has never looked more exciting! pic.twitter.com/QZ73H2mpBj</p></div>— xAI (@xai) February 11, 2026</blockquote> </div></figure> <p>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>   <p>“As a company grows, especially as quickly as xAI, the structure must evolve,” Musk said on X. “This unfortunately required parting ways with some people. We wish them well in future endeavors.”</p> <p>The new organizational system splits xAI into four primary teams: one focused on the Grok chatbot (including voice), another for the app’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> <p>“[Macrohard] is able to do anything on a computer that a computer is able to do,” Toby Pohlen, who will lead the project under the new organizational structure, told his colleagues. “There should be rocket engines fully designed by AI.”</p> <figure><img height="444" src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://techcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Screen-Shot-2026-02-11-at-3.21.27-PM.jpg/query-dz02ODA?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/interlace,1/resize,w_1440,h_1440/quality,q_95/format,jpg" width="680" original-src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://techcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Screen-Shot-2026-02-11-at-3.21.27-PM.jpg/query-dz02ODA"/><figcaption><span>Screenshot</span></figcaption></figure> <p>The all-hands also featured claims about new usage and revenue figures for xAI and X. Nikita Bier, X’s head of product, said X had “just crossed” $1 billion in annual recurring revenue from subscriptions, which he attributed to a marketing push during the holidays.</p> <div> <div>  <p>Techcrunch event</p> <div>  <p><span>Boston, MA</span> <span>|</span> <span>June 23, 2026</span> </p>  </div> </div> </div> <p>Additionally, executives said the xAI’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> <p>But it’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> <p>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 — essentially an electromagnetic catapult — to launch them. With such infrastructure, Musk said, one could launch an AI cluster capable of capturing significant portions of the sun’s total energy output or even expanding to other galaxies.</p> <p>“It’s difficult to imagine what an intelligence of that scale would think about,” Musk said, “but it’s going to be incredibly exciting to see it happen.”</p> </div></div>
