I hate to be this guy

Are you a SpaceX employee? You've said this in the past.

Most people at SpaceX genuinely love the mission and will work longer hours because it's almost a passion.

We're pretty well-compensated too.

You're looking for a "gotcha" but my whole point is that people are judging SpaceX entirely on Elon being involved, rather than it's actual merits.

My opinion shouldn't matter here.
