SpaceX's board elected Roelof Botha as an independent director on Jun 16, 2026, to fill an existing vacancy, and appointed him to its audit committee. In its 8-K, a US company's report of a material event, SpaceX said Botha had been with Sequoia Capital, a venture capital firm, since 2003. The filing also said a family member of Botha had been employed at SpaceX since January 2025, and that this person's annual compensation in 2025 exceeded the $120,000 reporting threshold but was generally commensurate with their peers' compensation. SpaceX filed the 8-K on Jun 17, 2026, under item 5.02, the item for the departure of directors or certain officers.1^,2^,3^,4^,5^,6^,7
