xAI is a project that aims to explore the deepest mysteries of the cosmos. They believe that the goal of xAI is to understand the true nature of the universe and to do so, they need to ask the most fundamental unanswered questions. Their first tweet on their official Twitter account was a question asking folks about the most unanswered questions: “What are the most fundamental unanswered questions?” They hope to spark curiosity and inspire people to join them in their quest for knowledge and discovery.
