SpaceX Taps Zuckerberg's Speechwriter to Head Communications (TSLA)

Facebook (Nasdaq: FB) CEO Mark Zuckerberg's speech writer, Dex Torricke-Barton, is said to have departed for more energized pastures.

Torricke-Barton also wrote speeches for former Google CEO Eric Schmidt before joining Facebook.

On Twitter, Elon Musk clarified some of the details, saying that Torricke-Barton will stick to communications and not be a speech writer:

@Recode Dex will do comms, but my speeches are just a conversation w the audience. No time to rehearse & don't want to read from a prompter.
