There’s also another problem — their most loyal user base already had access to it. And still nobody uses it because of its inferiority. They’re way too late into the game, and to catch up, on top of the infrastructure, you need top notch talent. But talent is limited, and pulling them out from big players won’t be easy because they’re also pouring billions to keep them in the shop. And having even a bit of negative PR when it comes to your employer might be a deciding factor for some potential candidates.
That being said, competition is good!

Of course it's more complicated than that, but the sheer number of workers in our industry who despise his politics and how he uses his money to advance them makes it a tall order for xAI to become a serious AI lab.
