Overview

• An internal email directed all xAI employees to submit a one‑page summary of the past four weeks’ work and the next four weeks’ goals by noon Thursday, with a three‑hour all‑hands set for Wednesday.
• The push comes days after xAI cut more than 500 data annotators who helped train responses for Grok, according to prior reporting.
• xAI has outlined a shift to recruiting domain‑expert AI tutors across areas such as STEM, finance, medicine and cultural topics, with higher pay bands than the prior annotator roles.
• It remains unclear how the summaries will be used, and the company did not respond to requests for comment.
• The request reflects a pattern for Musk, who has issued similar one‑page performance demands at X and during his government advisory stint, the latter of which drew OPM guidance that rolled back the effort.
