    I disagree. SpaceX is rumoured to have hired an “Elon babysitter” and Gwynne Shotwell seems to know what she’s doing.

    But musk sucks.

    The good news is that he’s so busy with Twitter and Tesla that he’s left spaceX alone.

    I think Elon has become (or perhaps always was) an ass, but somehow he knows how to hire some pretty smart people.

      I will say confideny that the problems with Tesla and Twitter’s daily operations are with Elon being directly involved daily.

      SpaceX has Gwynne to actually run daily operations and it’s just fine. Elon says his usual shit, but it doesn’t affect daily processes. The same cannot be said for Twitter and Tesla.

      Gwynne runs the show at SpaceX, and frankly, she’s fucking awesome at her job. The CEO is a blowhard, but Gwynne is calling the shots day to day.
