There's not much information about xAI, but diversity is already an issue

Not defending musk, but it is really difficult to find women in AI. The few that are around are very valuable for tech companies that will pay higher salaries to have "token women", better if they are from some minority group, to show better diversity statistics. Therefore retention is also difficult. Finding good people in AI is already difficult and expansive, finding women is a real challenge.

I strongly believe that diversity brings a lot of value, and women are important in any team. But the solution unfortunately is not in the current market, but it is at school levels. Culture must change.

Eh, the gender imbalance is bad, but not 0/12 bad... here are some stats

Those stats don't take into account the number of women that would want to work for Elon Musk.

Isn't the fact that he's repulsive sort of the whole complaint?

Just saying.. if you take that variable into account it probably gets a lot closer to that 0/12
