Musk ally Roelof Botha appointed as independent director of SpaceX

Odaily Odaily reports that less than a week after completing its record-breaking IPO, SpaceX has announced the appointment of Elon Musk's long-time ally and Sequoia Capital investor Roelof Botha to the company's board of directors, serving as an independent director and joining the audit committee, with the appointment taking effect immediately. It is reported that Roelof Botha has become SpaceX's eighth director, but this time he does not represent Sequoia Capital in holding a board seat at SpaceX, while Musk continues to serve as the company's chairman, CEO, and technology leader.
