X announced workforce reductions over recent weeks, cutting more than 20 nontechnical employees and losing chief marketing officer Angela Zepeda, who had served since September 2024. The Wall Street Journal reports the restructuring follows a merger linking xAI and SpaceX and aims to eliminate redundant roles, reduce costs, and realign teams for initiatives like the X Money payments product and a potential space-business IPO.
