Elon Musk’s xAI Is Becoming a Leaky Ship

gizmodo.com Lucas Ropek 2025-09-21 11:00:52

In recent weeks, a series of leaks has plagued Elon Musk’s xAI. Indeed, a slow, steady drip of stories from major news outlets has found, as its basis, a healthy helping of anonymous sources and internal company messages that said sources seem more than willing to share. The portrait of the company that’s being painted is one of a tumultuous startup, where change is rapid and much of the staff has been moved around or let go. The most recent leaks were reported in a New York Times piece on Frid

How The New York Times is (still) getting gamed by the right

Lately, it has been difficult to ignore a tendency at The New York Times to make astonishingly bad news judgments. The paper’s obsession with a view from nowhere is long-standing, but as Republicans increasingly circulate insane conspiracy theories and racist nonsense, the cult of centrism has taken a self-destructive turn. The most recent — and perhaps most egregious — way this has surfaced is a story about New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s application to Columbia University in 2009,
