Twitter and Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO Elon Musk unveiled a new company on Wednesday, xAI, which will have a goal to understand "the nature of the universe." 
The venerable tech exec, who has started a number of companies in his illustrious career, including PayPal (PYPL), SpaceX (SPACE) and The Boring Company to name a few, added in a tweet that xAI will help humanity "understand reality."
According to the company's website, xAI will hold a Twitter Spaces event on July 14 with members of the team being introduced and questions being asked of them.
The website adds that the company's employees have previously worked at DeepMind, Google Research (NASDAQ:GOOG) (GOOGL), Tesla, Microsoft Research (NASDAQ:MSFT), Tesla (TSLA) and OpenAI, which Musk helped form, and the University of Toronto. The site also lists several of the team's accomplishments, including the working on GPT-3.5, GPT-4 and Transformer-XL. 
The site mentions several tech industry workers, including Musk, Igor Babuschkin and Manuel Kroiss, among others.
The company is being advised by Dan Hendrycks, who currently serves as the director of the Center for AI Safety.
XAI said it is separate from X Corp, Musk's umbrella company that owns Twitter, but added that it will "work closely" with Twitter, Tesla "and other companies to make progress towards our mission."
