Devendra Chaplot will work directly under the tech billionaire. He joins xAI at a time when Musk has vowed to rebuild the AI startup.
Indian robotics expert Devendra Chaplot announced the move on X, sharing a photograph with Elon Musk and outlining his vision for the next phase of his career. Musk soon acknowledged the announcement, amplifying the post and welcoming him to the team.
Devendra Chaplot wrote on X, “I’m joining SpaceX and xAI, working closely with Elon and team to build superintelligence…I’m excited to advance the fields I’ve obsessed over for years, from robotics research to building AI models on the founding teams of Mistral and TML. Both were extraordinary journeys with extraordinary people that shaped how I think about building intelligence from the ground up".

He also heaped praise upon Elon Musk — writing that SpaceX and xAI “combine physical and digital intelligence under a leader who understands hardware at the deepest level”.
“Welcome to xAI!” came the response from his boss.
Over the past year, the company has lost several of its founding members. Musk has now said that he will personally interview promising candidates who were previously declined an offer or interview. Elon Musk recently announced Macrohard, a project aimed at creating a digital version of Tesla Optimus by combining the technologies developed by Tesla and xAI.
