xAI saw the departure of six of its twelve founding team members, including Yuhai Wu and Jimmy Ba. Leadership characterized the exits as necessary growing pains and framed a recent reorganization as aimed at improving execution speed.

The pattern of bold announcements paired with missed timelines raises questions about credibility and the pace of internal change.
