SpaceX is a scam like the perpetual Vehicle car of past time. Acknowledge the current design problems, use the tests for publicity, then switch to a NEW design with NEW funding.
Sucker the funders or the Govt deep pockets.
Additionally, Elon Musk bans older workers, illegal yes, but he keeps the younger naive gullible workers to not question the scam. Your retirement tax money at work, scamming.
Whether he's a scammer or not will be quickly discovered. First off, government should get OUT of the satellite launch business, and let private companies sort it out among themselves.
