Musk posted a dynamic response to xAI's recruitment information on the social media platform X, announcing that xAI would cancel the distinction between "researcher" and "engineer" titles, and would only have the title of "engineer" in the company from now on. He pointed out that "researcher" is a relic of academia, and the division of the titles of "researcher" and "engineer" is actually a cover for the two-tier engineering system. xAI has decided to abandon this incorrect naming method. In addition, he also mentioned SpaceX, emphasizing that the "research" conducted by SpaceX in advancing rocket and satellite technology is more meaningful and cutting-edge than the sum of all university laboratories on the earth. However, SpaceX never uses the pretentious and vaguely defined term "researcher", but instead uniformly calls them "engineers."
