Elon Musk co-founded OpenAI in 2015, before leaving the company in 2018. He has since criticized the company.
X.AI’s official registration document lists a single director, Elon Musk, and a secretary, Jared Birchall – an ex-Morgan Stanley banker who manages the multibillionaire’s fortune, according to the FT.
“X” is a mathematical symbol that Musk is particularly fond of. Prior to the Twitter acquisition he made allusions to “X“, his vision of a do-it-all app, like WeChat in China.
He recently changed the name of Twitter to “X Corp“, and the headquarters of the social network is no longer in Delaware but in Nevada.
