Is it possible they're actually really into the science, or is it unmistakably fanboyism?
I question this too. I love SpaceX, and Tesla has definitely made great progress. In just a few years spacex has made scientific revolutions that would take NASA and ESA decades. Don't get me wrong, I hate the capitalism part. They definitely need government controls and incentives to keep "enshitification" for profit at bay. But the company seems to be doing a positive good so far, without a doubt. That said, I hate Elon Musk as a person. He pours money into great ideas, but only because he's a narcissist who wants to see his name on it. SpaceX has prospered in spite of him.
