Charging users for subscriptions is Meta Platforms’ latest bid to build a business outside advertising. The company badly needs it to work, but its chances don’t look great.
A former xAI engineer has sued Elon Musk's artificial intelligence company, xAI, and its parent company, SpaceX, claiming that he was fired for raising concerns regarding the safety of the company's Grok AI chatbot. Notably, the lawsuit comes just days ahead of the highly anticipated SpaceX IPO, which is expected to be the largest public offering in history, valuing the company at approximately $1.77 trillion.
What is the xAI employee alleging?
The employee in question, Devin Kim, worked as an engineer at xAI until October 2025 and is now the president of the nonprofit Center for AI Safety. Kim filed a lawsuit against SpaceX in a California state court on Tuesday, claiming that the company did not do enough to address potential safety risks associated with its Grok AI chatbot.
