A remarkable detail: nearly half of xAI's $5 billion equity funding came directly from Elon Musk's other major company, SpaceX.
Liberatore's departure is noted as the 'latest executive to leave' Elon Musk's AI firm, raising questions about internal dynamics.
With a new CFO needed, the future financial strategy and leadership of xAI will be under close scrutiny.
This high-profile executive change at a prominent AI startup could signal broader shifts or challenges within the competitive AI industry.
