I would really rather that these were actual examples, and not conspiracy theories. We all have our own unsubstantiated ideas about what shadowy no-gooders are doing, but I’d rather hear about things that are actually happening.

    SpaceX has been doing incredibly well at rockets, just because you only know about tests that ended in explosions doesn’t mean that’s how everything goes

    You hate musk, I get it but that doesn’t mean everything he associated with is automatically bad

      Gwynne Shotwell. She built the rockets. Elon was one of many challenges she managed to work around.

        Exactly, and thousands of other highly educated and skilled people - I can’t think of anything worse than having to put up with Elon then getting told your life’s work is rubbish just because he’s associated with the company you work for.

          Just another hated boss. Not too uncommon. I’m sure plenty of people who work for him don’t like him either. SpaceX does get plenty of positive recognition and feedback, too.
