Doesn't the legal scrutiny of Musk and his enterprises lately really show how long he operated <i>without</i> the government down his back? I bitched about his "get out of jail free" card for years, beginning with Paypal (note what happened to anyone else in that space).<p>I wasn't alone in recalling "Tuckers" when he said he'd start a new car company.<p>How much legal red tape did SpaceX manage to navigate that the other rocketry start ups became ensnared by?
