I think that what bothers me the most about the SpaceX rhetoric is seeing Musk and Bezos damned in the same breath as Amazon and SpaceX. You have to understand, I'm not just a space enthusiast, but I'm also a card carrying socialist - that is, I literally have a DSA card in my wallet. Companies like Amazon are deliberately dismantling our society in the name of profit in a way that SpaceX really isn't. Amazon is a hydra which puts its fingers into hundreds of pies and starts shoving. Consolidation, diversification, regulatory capture, market manipulation, predatory acquisitions, these are the bread and butter of evil capitalist enterprise, and as far as I can tell none of it is going on at SpaceX.
-SpaceX has a singular mission, which is to make life multi-planetary. They have made a small number of on-topic acquisitions to facilitate this, but limit themselves to the very specific markets which are relevant to this goal. Oh, they have problems -- Musk's spats with the SEC and his possy of cryptocurrency idiots, union busting behavior, workplace safety issues at Tesla, plus overwork and turnover issues at SpaceX -- these are all important criticisms of SpaceX. But is this really at the same level as the companies who are hacking society to create nation-states-tier levels of wealth through rampant unregulated abuse? I don't think so, not at all.

In my opinion, Musk is nothing but a liability for SpaceX. I honestly find the idea of him as one of the world's richest people pretty laughable, too, given how much of his money exists only on paper, much of which comes from the grossly inflated Tesla stock price. I wish people were able to see past the clown he is to the company behind him, a company which, for all of its faults, is full of passionate people doing amazing work which could profoundly impact the human condition forever, and which is not busy destroying the world in the same sense that the biggest criminals of capitalism are hard at work doing.
