On Wednesday, xAI took the rare step of publishing a full 45-minute all-hands meeting video on X, making it publicly accessible. There were details of the Tuesday night meeting. It was previously reported by the New York Times.That may have influenced xAI’s decision to post the video online.
The full video reveals important new details about Musk’s plans for AI Lab, including its product roadmap and its ongoing relationship with the X platform.
The most immediate revelation was related to employee departures, which Musk described as layoffs as a result of a changing organizational structure at the company. While restructuring is common, the magnitude of the departures has created significant confusion, particularly as it means losing a significant portion of the founding team.
“As a company grows, especially as xAI, the structure must evolve,” Musk said Said on x. “It unfortunately required parting ways with some people. We wish them the best in their future endeavors.”
The new organizational structure divides xAI into four core teams: one on the Grok chatbot (including voice), another for the app’s coding system, another for the Imagine video generator, and finally a team focused on the Macrohard project, which spans from simple computer usage to modeling entire corporations.
“[Macrohard] Anything a computer can do can be done on a computer,” Toby Poehlen, who will lead the project under the new organizational structure, told his colleagues. “There should be rocket engines designed entirely by AI.”
All Hands also includes claims about new usage and revenue figures for xAI and X. Nikita Baer, X’s head of product, said X “just” surpassed $1 billion in annual recurring revenue from subscriptions, which it boosted marketing during the holidays.

Additionally, executives said xAI’s Imagine tool is generating 50 million videos a day, and more than 6 billion photos in the past 30 days, according to their internal metrics.
But it’s hard to separate these figures from the deluge of deepfake porn that superseded X during the same period. X platform Saw the engagement touching the sky. As AI-generated clear images became more popular, and so on An estimated 1.8 million sexual images Produced in just nine days, the image generation data likely includes a substantial amount of this controversial material.
The most compelling part of the presentation came at the end, when Musk reiterated the importance of space-based data centers despite the technical challenges. Musk envisions a moon-based factory for AI satellites going even further, including a lunar mass driver — essentially an electromagnetic catapult — to launch them. With such infrastructure, one could launch an AI cluster capable of capturing significant portions of the Sun’s overall energy output or extending it to other galaxies, Musk said.
“It’s hard to imagine what an intelligence of this scale would think of, but it would be incredibly interesting to see it happen,” Musk said.
