    Now please all aboard the SpaceX rocket everybody! A 6 barrel revolver with a single bullet is added for a fun game of Russian roulette. Just to out your mind at ease, the gun is not the biggest threat to your life.

      SpaceX hasn’t killed anyone, incidentally it’s also the company musk has the least power over.

        I wouldn’t necessarily call those two facts “incidental”. I’d be pretty confident calling it “cause and effect”.

        Tesla is publicly traded and has a board of directors. I believe Musk has more than half the votes though

        SpaceX is privately owned by him and Gwynne Shotwell only serves as COO because Musk is happy with her in that role

          Tesla engineers are limited in their pursuit of whatever weird shit Elon wants by pretty lose car safety standards. SpaceX has to comply with two governments, a dozen other companies, and hundreds of insurance companies safety standards.

          Not, really, it would need to be better, by every measure, than all of its competition. And SpaceX is.
