SpaceX ironically was one of the outlets I had to avoid the doom of politics

Do you think this community would benefit from a "no-politics" rule, or are political topics unavoidable at this point?

@threelonmusketeers @BedSharkPal its unavoidable, with a ceo, practical being the effective president and being a nazi/fascist, yeah we are way beyond 'no-politics'

I don't think you can exclude where politics intersects with SpaceX. I can imagine, for example, Trump ordering the FCC to shortcut its process and give SpaceX whatever spectrum it wants and I think it would be unfair to exclude politics from the discussion of that

@threelonmusketeers @BedSharkPal People have been denigrating the good work of the SpaceX engineers for a long time, because of EMs words and deeds. Until they and the senior managers speak to him and dissociate the company from his reckless behaviour, the brand is toxic.
