Elon Musk's social media platform, X, underwent a significant restructuring, including the departure of marketing chief Angela Zepeda, as the company prepares for the anticipated initial public offering (IPO) of SpaceX, a move that follows Musk's announcement of a merger between xAI and SpaceX.
Angela Zepeda, who served as X's marketing chief since September 2024, was let go last month. This personnel change occurred after Elon Musk publicly announced the merger of his artificial intelligence venture, xAI, with his aerospace company, SpaceX.
The restructuring at X is directly linked to the impending SpaceX IPO, indicating strategic alignment across Musk's portfolio of companies. The article also notes that Musk plans to allocate 30% of SpaceX's IPO offering to individual investors, signaling a broader strategy to democratize access to his ventures.
