    Tesla is publicly traded and has a board of directors. I believe Musk has more than half the votes though

    SpaceX is privately owned by him and Gwynne Shotwell only serves as COO because Musk is happy with her in that role

      Tesla engineers are limited in their pursuit of whatever weird shit Elon wants by pretty lose car safety standards. SpaceX has to comply with two governments, a dozen other companies, and hundreds of insurance companies safety standards.
