Welcome to the reality of anything that Elon Musk has extensive control over.
SpaceX is useful because upper management actively subvert him. Tesla had a functional process before he decided to smear his face all over the public image of it. Twitter was one example of interesting architecture before he gutted it (and caused a LOT of problems; I'm informed about 80% of the infra he took out has been put back in).
He's the very real example of an accidental success without any understanding of why he succeeded.
Which would probably raise less than a modest wealth tax on billionaires, but we know that will never get traction (even though its an extremely popular policy)
