Recently, SpaceX made senior personnel adjustments to its data center construction team, and several leaders were replaced. The successors mainly came from the company's rocket and satellite internet business. People familiar with the matter revealed that the move stemmed from existing data center facilities in Tennessee and Mississippi continuing to reveal problems with civil engineering and operational reliability. In the early construction phase, SpaceX's AI department sought speed, and some facilities lacked backup cooling and power systems for several months, increasing the risk of downtime. In terms of personnel changes, Wesley Salandro, former vice president of production for Falcon Rocket and Dragon spacecraft, and Logan McConnell, director of product support and operations at the Starship base launch site, have joined the AI infrastructure team. In addition, SpaceX has brought in an engineer from NeuraLink to assist in civil engineering and continues to recruit related positions. Meanwhile, several core members of the data center team recently left their jobs: Jake Palmer, who is responsible for physical infrastructure, left at the end of July, and Zach Wells, Pablo Mendoza, etc.; previously, Brent Mayo, who was responsible for site construction, had already moved to OpenAI, and Liz Balke, who joined Tesla's Dojo supercomputer project, also switched to Anthropic.
