Engineers at Tesla are seeing their salaries rise after Elon Musk claimed that companies like Meta are trying to poach their top talent.

Musk is also in the market for engineers to join his artificial intelligence (AI) startup xAI. He recently kidnapped Ethan Knight from Tesla. Musk said “Ethan was going to join OpenAI, so it was either xAI or them. They (Musk's market rivals) have been aggressively recruiting Tesla engineers with massive compensation offers and unfortunately have been successful in some cases.”

The billionaire who was ranked in the Top 10 of Forbes Rich List ranking would make comments on X (formerly Twitter) when answering a question about staff pay:

Does Tesla match these compensation offers? Or is it more that these employees just want to change things, so compliance wouldn't matter?

The AI ​​recruiting war

Top talent in the artificial intelligence market is at the center of a tug of war for their services. These industry leading services have shown that they will leave no stone unturned to ensure that they capture the services of the most skilled at any cost.

Musk would refer to the battle to get staff to take over the responsibilities and development of AI as the most competitive in his professional experience. it stated that “The AI ​​talent war is the craziest talent war I've ever seen.”

Mark Zuckerberg personally heads the recruiting team at Meta and according to a report from informationhe contacted two potential AI specialists from Google Deepmind.

The report said the two undisclosed people were approached to join him at Meta to continue the company's investment in artificial intelligence and scientific research.

Meta is also said to have broken their golden rule of salary caps to lure individuals they believe can give them the edge in the competition to have the most sought-after AI.

of news mediaT has also reported that Google co-founder Sergey Brin picked up the phone to prevent top talent from leaving for OpenAI. This shows that those at the helm of digital are not too proud to make the effort to retain these highly talented individuals.

The year 2024 will see artificial intelligence take center stage, so we'll see a host of sagas involving computer chips and top talent getting the most out of technology as the year winds down.
