Very few of the names stand out to me (being adjacently familiar with the space). However I did search based on your link… (Edit: with the exception of Chris Szegedy, thanks to the reply below for pointing that out)
Most of them seem to have been secondary/tertiary people on the projects listed. Definitely feels a bit like resume padding.
It’s also unfortunate that searching for the first person after Elon nets results for their domestic abuse arrest over any achievements in the space.
Further down, one of the only two women involved is a “creative AI writer/filmmaker”. Not a strong amount of diversity on their roster but also a weird role to highlight.
None of this is to diminish the work the people here do or have done, but it’s a startlingly high valuation for a company without high name recognition technical expertise in this domain.
Elon has traditionally relied on well known expert partners in the areas he’s expanded into, so this feels like an outlier.
