    All these decisions from this guy as head of Twitter really put those videos of SpaceX rocket explosions into a new perspective.

      I’ve read somewhere that all important decision making for SpaceX and Tesla are out of muskrat’s hands.

        I’ve heard that SpaceX’s corporate culture revolved around shielding the actual work being done from Elon’s decisions.

        I was under the impression he had a lot of control over spacex but less so over Tesla. Two google searches may not be the most thorough of research, but I don’t really want to devote more of my time to him.

          Well SpaceX is unique as almost all of their revenue comes solely from government contracts. When you have a government contract you have to follow the requirements to the letter, or you may not got paid or win the next contract. So he is pretty restricted when it comes to making wild decisions on the fly with SpaceX.
