By people who then go on to get cushy jobs at his companies.
How Kathy Leuders hasn’t been investigated for corruption is beyond me. She was Associate Administrator at NASA for 2 years, during her first year she told SpaceX how low their proposal needed to be in order to get the contract for Artemis.
Less than 18 months later, after SpaceX got the contract, she retired from NASA. A month after that, she took a job as general manager at SpaceX’s Starbase.
She forked over 2 billion dollars in tax payer money to secure a job at SpaceX.
2 billion dollars that has, so far, only gotten us 3 launches of an experimental rocket, none of which have reached orbit and 2 of which exploded in the atmosphere. Oh and SpaceX is supposed to do their first unmanned moon landing of this vehicle in a month, if they want to stay on track for the contract.
Well the Republicans wanting to end the NLRB makes so much sense now...

Like that wasn't already a goal. (Not disagreeing.)
Because of course they did.

Someone please take Lonnie's toys from him.
