See I consider it a non-issue because I largely consider SpaceX to be a government company. All the grants, financing, and their largest contracts - all government. Without government, SpaceX would literally not exist. So in my mind they&

Let's be realistic, the SEC is completely AWOL right now. There is no SEC. A major CEO literally told the SEC to suck his genitalia on Twitter to an audience of millions. The same CEO is going to trial for fraud later this year. Thi
