Summary

Elon Musk's xAI has reassigned Starlink engineer Jack Garabedian to lead the Grok training team, replacing Diego Pasini, as part of broader integration of Starlink executives into xAI management ahead of SpaceX's IPO.

Jack Garabedian, a Starlink engineer who's been with SpaceX since 2021, is taking over the team that trains xAI's Grok chatbot, displacing college-aged engineer Diego Pasini, who has been with the company for a year and a half. Garabedian helped with the deployment of Starlink during the war between Russia and Ukraine, and he also helped work with the Starlink customer team and integrated Grok into customer support. A group of Starlink executives has taken over xAI in policy, operations, and leading the engineers ahead of SpaceX's upcoming initial public offering.
