Yeah, it is a tad off-putting.

I find that I can still be excited about the progress SpaceX is making, even if the CEO is going off the rails. I'm glad that Gwynne Shotwell seems to be pretty level-headed.

Glad I'm not the only one. Star Link in particular is starting to make me very uncomfortable ๐Ÿ˜•

SpaceX ironically was one of the outlets I had to avoid the doom of politics, now it's just all blending together and I'm running out of places to find any hope.

Do you think this community would benefit from a "no-politics" rule, or are political topics unavoidable at this point?

@threelonmusketeers @BedSharkPal People have been denigrating the good work of the SpaceX engineers for a long time, because of EMs words and deeds. Until they and the senior managers speak to him and dissociate the company from his reckless behaviour, the brand is toxic.
