- Former xAI engineer Devin Kim says he was fired for pushing AI safety guardrails and has sued xAI/SpaceX — he’s now president of the nonprofit Center for AI Safety.
- The lawsuit alleges Kim was dismissed right before he was due to present safety concerns about the chatbot Grok and claims retaliation and wrongful discharge; it was filed just ahead of SpaceX’s huge IPO.
- The case fuels wider scrutiny of safety at Musk-linked companies and raises questions about whether xAI is living up to Musk’s promise that it would be a “safer” AI alternative.
