xAI offered employees $420 for submitting completed tax returns as training data for Grok, with the March request preceding the April tax deadline as Bloomberg reports unpaid promises

But it hasn't paid the employees who did so https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-05-18/musk-s-xai-promised-staff-420-for-their-tax-returns-hasn-t-paid
