Public Records List David Grusch as StarDustX Materials COO

Ben Schreckinger reports for Paradigm that an Alabama filing lists David Grusch as chief operating officer of StarDustX Materials. Garry Nolan and Karl Nell have identified themselves as co-founders; the article says Nell’s listed tenure ended in 2025. It distinguishes the Alabama filing from the current federal-contractor contact listing naming Joseph DiNoto.

The Reddit submissions and quoted X post repeat this same report. They are not independent corroboration. Gene Sticco’s concerns about Grusch’s congressional role are attributed allegations, not established findings of misconduct.

The full article separately reports John Herrington’s denial of Brent Friedman’s alien-briefing account and Friedman’s response that he stands by it. That disputed account is covered in the related Herrington signal.
