Forbes reported that x.ai will merge with x.com. x.ai is increasingly looking like announcementware, with a fluid set of goals. One would be to pull more money into Xitter before he can't meet a LBO loan payment. Ii predict it will become an orphan joke/troll company like The Boring Company. Real humans sign up for jobs at these joke companies, which makes the jokes less funny.

Given the working conditions at Musk companies an otherwise sane individual would only work there if he buys the hype surrounding Musk himself.

If that is the case then I am afraid it's not a matter of if you'd be getting screwed but when. If it's not Musk is going to be some other techbro employing the same techniques.
