Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company, xAI, quietly dropped its public benefit corporation status in Nevada in 2024, according to filings uncovered by legal advocates. This move occurred just months before xAI merged with X, formerly Twitter, and launched its Grok chatbot. Critics argue the change was used for publicity, with concerns over transparency and accountability, as xAI never published the typical impact reports associated with public benefit entities. Musk's legal representatives appeared unaware of the change as of mid-2025.
