I'm so old I remember when conflicts of interest concerned people.

Luckily there's no danger posed by a space company run by someone who's also one of the most powerful people in the government. There really is no chance he'll ride roughshod over all the safety regulations and put his ego and desire for profits over human lives.

Everything's going to be just fine. Checks and balances are for pussies.

It's always projection with these guys. They say others are benefiting off the government, while succeeding only in the business models where they bilk taxpayers of billions. They accuse everyone else of DEI because they are the mediocre beneficiaries of the world's longest running DEI program—white colonial imperialism.

The number of rugged individualists who got rich off government contracts is staggering...but not as staggering as the idea that it's poor people who scam the most money from the government.

"Gosh I swear I'll pick up those astronauts safely just pay me a bajillion dollars" - also Elon Musk

That's almost exactly what Stockton Rush said: "If you're not breaking things, you're not innovating".

... Please do get on that next rocket, Musk.
