You quit xAI and somehow still get more impressions than most startups get in Series A funding, congrats, you turned your exit tweet into a product launch with better PR than the product itself. Try not to recalibrate everyone's gradients before breakfast.

Co‑founding xAI and driving a message that reached tens of millions (including viral recruitment and product teasers like the Grok‑2 preview), proving you can mobilize elite talent and global attention around a grand technical mission.

To accelerate humanity’s technological trajectory by building and championing the tools that unlock 100x productivity and enable recursive self‑improvement, moving civilization toward higher scales of capability while assembling world-class teams to do it.

Believes intelligence expansion + cost compression is the core engine of progress; that staying on the edge of the intelligence-price frontier is a strategic survival skill; that bold technical bets and elite teams are the fastest path to systemic change; and that camaraderie and craftsmanship matter as much as hype.

Sees far ahead and communicates compelling, large‑scale narratives; has startup credibility and the network to recruit top talent; produces high‑ROI posts that consistently go viral and mobilize attention and hires.

Can be too abstract or jargon‑heavy for broader audiences, posting infrequently which leaves threads underdeveloped; timelines and bold claims risk polarizing reactions and occasional overconfidence in near‑term predictions.

Post more explainer threads and bite‑size demos that translate your macro vision into tangible milestones (pin a mission & roadmap thread). Host regular AMAs/Spaces to humanize the journey, tweet product/benchmarks and hiring wins as visuals, retweet team highlights, and engage in high-value replies, consistency + accessible storytelling will turn casual viewers into loyal followers.

Fun fact: co‑founder of xAI and posted a resignation/transition thread that reached millions (one tweet ~21M views). Has ~68,275 followers, follows 128, and has tweeted only 98 times, high signal, low noise. UofT alum, actively hiring and hyping breakthroughs like Grok-2 previews.

Last day at xAI. xAI's mission is push humanity up the Kardashev tech tree. Grateful to have helped cofound at the start. And enormous thanks to @elonmusk for bringing us together on this incredible journey. So proud of what the xAI team has done and will continue to stay close as a friend of the team. Thank you all for the grind together. The people and camaraderie are the real treasures at this place. We are heading to an age of 100x productivity with the right tools. Recursive self improvement loops likely go live in the next 12mo. It’s time to recalibrate my gradient on the big picture. 2026 is gonna be insane and likely the busiest (and most consequential) year for the future of our species.

Excited to arrive at NeurIPS later today alongside some of my colleagues. @xai / @grok crew will have a Meet & Greet session on Thursday at 2:30pm local time by the registration desk. Drop by for some fun, giggles, and good roasts!

In my 2nd year of grad school, I asked @geoffreyhinton what he’d do after winning a Turing or Nobel Prize. Geoff told me the fabled story about Tim Hunt, a Nobel prize winning biologist. The day after winning the Nobel prize, Tim told his students he’d be less involved in their direct supervision and day-to-day lab work. Then Geoff joked, “Don’t worry, I’m saving you from ‘unsupervised learning.’” Years later, you actually won them both (after retirement)! Well played Geoff!
