You assume it gets off the ground. Starliner is 4 years behind, hasn't had a flawless automated launch yet, and still hasn't launched a manned crew, while the SpaceX Dragon 2 has made 30+ trips to the ISS on a fraction of the development budget.
What are you talking about? Elon is all over SpaceX constantly. It's easily one of the biggest critic complaints, just like every other Elon company.
The difference however, is that SpaceX has Gwynne Shotwell, and she is able to keep things on track, even with Elon. That is something none of Elon's other companies have an equivalent.
Brain fart. My bad.
No worries. SpaceX IMO is basically proof that Elon being involved is fine as long as he's not actually the one in charge on a daily basis.
There needs to be a Gwynne at every Elon company. But it seems that none of the other company Boards realize that.
