Elon Musk’s AI company, xAI, is on a hiring spree, looking for over a dozen experts in crypto and traditional finance to help train its AI models. The firm is particularly interested in candidates experienced with tools like DefiLlama, Nansen, and Chainalysis. Job postings highlight responsibilities such as teaching AI how crypto quantitative traders analyze data and manage volatility. This recruitment drive coincides with a major merger, where SpaceX is acquiring xAI in a deal valued at over $1 trillion. xAI has quickly gained traction since its launch as part of Musk's acquisition of Twitter in 2022. It has raised $42 billion from investors, making it the second-largest player in the large language model space after OpenAI. Musk’s involvement in crypto isn't new; he famously boosted Dogecoin's value in 2021 and made headlines when Tesla added Bitcoin to its balance sheet. The merger and hiring push signal a strategic consolidation of Musk's business interests, expanding the reach of his ventures into the realms of AI and cryptocurrency.
