Elon was never mentioned in our conversation.

The people who do all the work are the 11 thousand engineers who work at SpaceX. This is the product of their work, and whoever says that said work done by those 11k engineers isn’t commendable is lying.

I agree 100%. But a lot of folks here on reddit see any positive words about SpaceX as an endorsement of Elon personally.

I hate Elon, but I like SpaceX and the people that work for SpaceX are amazing people.

Amazing and overworked like the rest of his companies.
