Pentagon AI official disclosed Perplexity stock exit filings

The filings also show a prior xAI stock sale reported to have netted up to $24 million earlier this year.

Decrypt reports that Emil Michael, a senior official tied to the Pentagon's AI efforts, disclosed in recent financial filings that he sold Perplexity stock during the summer.

The outlet said the disclosures point to an exit from Perplexity months after a separate January sale of xAI stock, which Decrypt reports could have generated as much as $24 million.

Decrypt noted that the filing details were reflected in the official's latest disclosures, showing the timing of the Perplexity sale relative to the earlier xAI transaction.
