What happened

Gabriela Castillo Madrid, Head of AI Government Cooperation at SpaceX, will be present by video at the New York City Council AI Safety Hearing on the 16th. The New York City Council Technical Committee hearing will be held at 10 a.m. (11 p.m. ET) at the New York City Hall. The council said SpaceXAI decided to testify at the hearing on the 13th. Council issued a subpoena to SpaceXAI on 28 September. When the company failed to appear at the Oct. 5 hearing to attend with other AI companies, the council notified the state court that it would seek a subpoena. The company then asked the council to meet, and agreed to the testimony.

Reported details

No additional source details were retained.

Why this matters

SpaceX AI Director is a factual update rather than a structural change to tokenized assets. Its value to a desk is the sourced detail and the timing, so read it next to the linked reporting and treat any figure the sources do not state as unknown.

Evidence boundary

The scope is limited to what the linked reports state, and where two of them diverge both positions are recorded without either being picked in advance.

What to verify

Corroborate SpaceX AI Director with one independent dated source, and treat any figure the linked reports do not state as unknown rather than inferred.
