Investing.com -- Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) has reassigned its engineering staff across multiple teams following CEO Elon Musk’s decision to disband the company’s in-house chip and supercomputer project known as Dojo.

The now-defunct Dojo operation has been split into parts with personnel distributed across several groups within the electric vehicle maker. Software-focused staff members have been reassigned to report to Ashok Elluswamy, who leads Tesla’s AI initiatives for robotaxis and humanoid robots, according to Bloomberg, citing people familiar with the matter.

Engineers who were working on silicon or semiconductors now report to Aaron Rodgers, who oversees hardware for Tesla’s autonomous driving efforts and is responsible for the company’s AI5 chip.

Meanwhile, firmware staff have been placed under Silvio Brugada, who has led security engineering and taken on expanded responsibilities following David Lau’s departure from his position as head of software engineering.

The reorganization represents a significant shift in Tesla’s internal structure following the abrupt end of the Dojo project, which had been developing specialized computing capabilities for the company’s artificial intelligence initiatives.
