"How is xAI building its data centers so quickly? Through temporary licenses, Ghori said. "It was the fastest way to get the permitting through and actually start building things," Ghori said. "I assume that it will be permanent at some point." Ghori said that the temporary leases were an exception granted by the local government, one made for carnivals. The host, Ti Morse, laughed: "So xAI is actually just a carnival company?" "It's a carnival company," Ghori responded."
"Elon Musk's companies are famously wary of the press and media. And while it's not clear whether Ghori's exit is related to the podcast interview - neither xAI nor Musk commented on the former employee's quotes or departure when contacted by Business Insider - some big names like MrBeast are speculating as much. Ghori hasn't commented publicly about the circumstances of his departure and did not respond when contacted by Business Insider."
A former xAI technical staffer spoke at length about the company's operations and then left xAI shortly after the podcast. The engineer said xAI fast-tracked data-center construction using temporary licenses intended for carnivals and expected those sites to become permanent. The engineer described a workforce of very skilled AI employees and noted organizational confusion amid rebuilding efforts. Neither xAI nor Elon Musk responded to questions about the engineer's comments or departure. Public figures have speculated about a connection between the interview and the departure. The engineer did not comment publicly on the circumstances.
