Excited to announce that Michael So is joining Aalo as our VP of Programs. Michael previously led the Cybercab program at Tesla, and played major roles on Cybertruck and Model Y. He's been a leader in Austin's manufacturing scene since the early days of Tesla's presence here, commissioning the 1st Giga Texas production line, building its 1st car, and scaling production. At Aalo, Michael will help to create the nuclear product that will make affordable, smaller nuclear reactors a reality. Welcome to the team Michael!
