SpaceX said it will testify at a New York City Council tech committee hearing on Friday at 10 a.m. ET. The council issued a subpoena on Sept. 28 to Elon Musk and SpaceX’s AI unit, after earlier hearings on Oct. 5 featured Anthropic, OpenAI, Google and Meta but not SpaceX. Council leaders warned that failure to comply could bring penalties under city law. The hearing follows a month‑long debate about fast‑emerging AI risks.
Why it matters
The testimony could shape New York City rules that affect how AI tools like SpaceX’s Grok are used locally.
