xAI’s legal chief steps down after whirlwind year
Robert Keele, xAI’s first legal chief, is stepping down after just over a year to spend more time with his toddlers and due to “daylight between our worldviews” with Elon Musk. He joined in May 2024 ahead of xAI’s $6 billion Series B and Musk’s X acquisition. Former NASA rocket scientist–turned–lawyer Lily Lim will succeed him, adding to a string of executive shakeups across Musk’s companies.
