I hate to be this guy

Then don't be. I'm not sure why you feel the need to glaze the world's richest political agent, unless...

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.

"Well-run" implies that of the people running it, i.e. CEO Elon Musk. A quick search on Glassdoor reveals "CEO approval."

I don't expect you to speak negatively about the person who signs your paychecks, especially because he's so obsessed with censoring social media, but when you praise vague "good leadership" and leave it at that, it does make a rational person skeptical.

Please read a bit about Gwynne Shotwell. She's amazing and runs the company very competently.

I'm way more interested on your opinions of CEO (and Chair and CTO) Elon Musk, especially because you'd apparently rather talk about anybody but him.

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.
