Elon Musk appears to be purging his team behind the troubled chatbot Grok. Slack screenshots leaked to Business Insider show that at least nine high-level employees were deactivated over the weekend. These employees, who worked on human data management for Grok, were responsible for training AI models and annotating data. The move has sparked concern among workers, with some reporting panic after being asked to explain their work during one-on-one meetings with supervisors. This comes amid ongoing scandals, including the “MechaHitler” debacle earlier this summer. Musk’s motives for scaling down his team are unclear, but it’s clear that Grok’s future is uncertain.
