With Elon Musk distracted by Twitter, Shotwell will take charge<\/h2>\n

We are three weeks now since SpaceX founder Elon Musk finalized his purchase of Twitter, and it has so far been his main focus. Previously Musk\u2019s time was mostly spent between managing Tesla and personally overseeing the development of Starship, SpaceX\u2019s next-generation fully-reusable rocket. Now he seems to be hoping around Twitter offices, pushing changes to the app and its workforce.<\/p>\n

According to The Information, Shotwell will take over control of Starship development as Musk\u2019s time is pretty filled up between all his other companies. Shotwell started at SpaceX in 2002, heading up the business development department for the Falcon 1 rocket. She is now second in charge at SpaceX and is stated to be the main reason for SpaceX\u2019s success.<\/p>\n

Shotwell will replace Shyamal Patel, Senior Director of Starship Operations, who has overseen all of Starship\u2019s flight tests since 2019 when he moved over from Cape Canaveral. <\/p>\n
