Musk Orders xAI Staff Performance Reports Amidst Reorganization
Elon Musk, the boss of xAI, wants everyone to write a short report.
He's asking employees to share what they've done in the last month and what they'll do next.
This is part of some big changes at xAI, with the company possibly cutting certain jobs and adding more in other areas.
This isn't the first time Musk has asked for these reports.
It helps decide who gets stock in the company and understand employee contributions.
It also shows the company's interest in restructuring.
Elon Musk asked xAI employees to provide summaries of their work and future plans.
The request includes a one-page summary of accomplishments in the past four weeks.
Deadline for the summary is Thursday at noon.
