Elon Musk has a new job description for his rocket engineers: AI parents. During a recent all-hands meeting at SpaceX, Musk told employees the company plans to train its Grok AI model on the “sum total” of SpaceX’s institutional knowledge, including the work, contributions, and ideas of its workforce.
The meeting video, shared by SpaceX on X, surfaced on Tuesday morning and revealed Musk’s vision for merging the aerospace giant’s deep engineering expertise with xAI’s large language model ambitions.

Musk framed the initiative in characteristically grand terms, telling employees that Grok would inherit their “thoughts and ideas and beliefs.”
“You will effectively be the parents of the AI.”
