Tesla and SpaceX are really run by different people and Elon Muskow is right now more of a PR person. SpaceX rally for example is run by Gwynne Shotwell. As for Tesla it was believed it was Zach Kirkhorn, but he left last year before cyber truck launch.

I suppose it’s a bit of a consolation that he doesn’t run SpaceX and Tesla with the same incompetence that he does Twitter.

Thanks for the tips. 🙂
Let’s see:
Gwynne Shotwell (née Rowley, previously Gurevich; born November 23, 1963[1]) is an American businesswoman and engineer. She is the president and chief operating officer of SpaceX, an American space transportation company, where she is responsible for day-to-day operations and company growth.[2]
As of 2023, Shotwell is listed as the 28th most powerful woman in the world by Forbes.[3] She was ranked 54th on Fortune’s list of Most Powerful Women in 2023.[4] In 2020, Time magazine named her as one of the 100 most influential people in the world.[5] In 2018, she was listed as the most powerful female engineer by Business Insider.[6]
In June 2024, eight ex-employees, the same who had previously been fired for penning the open letter against Elon Musk, filed a lawsuit against Musk and SpaceX alleging sexual harassment and discrimination.[338][339]

It seems Musk owns 12.9% of the company.

It doesn’t matter who runs these companies when they’re both scams.

Tesla, Neurolink, The Boring Company, and Twitter are for sure all somewhere between over-valued meme stocks (at best) and scammy shit-heaps (at worst).
SpaceX, however, is actually doing good and cool stuff. Not that it doesn’t have any problems, it’s still owned by a moron.

He hasn’t run SpaceX for a long time. At this point he isn’t much more than a mascot for the company.
