xAI Announces Macrohard Automation Plan, Organizational Restructuring, and Lunar Data Center Ambitions (X:0)

xAI held its first post-SpaceX merger全员 meeting on February 11, 2026, announcing major organizational restructuring and a new Macrohard initiative aimed at automating白领 work. The company split into four teams — Grok (chat and voice), Coding (application code), Imagine (video/image generation), and Macrohard — each reporting directly to Elon Musk. Toby Pohlen, a former DeepMind engineer, leads Macrohard to simulate human use of computers, with Musk envisioning AI-designed rocket engines. The leadership shift followed announcements by co-founders Tony Wu and Jimmy Ba stepping down, signaling a new phase. Musk reiterated plans for space-based data centers and a lunar mass driver to launch satellites, citing resource constraints on Earth and the potential for lunar-based operations to reduce costs. Product updates include the upcoming XChat, a standalone messaging app with PC support and video capabilities, and XMoney, set for limited external testing in the coming months. The initiatives reflect xAI’s aggressive expansion into AI automation and next-generation computing platforms.
