     @arstechnica Musk only named SpaceX. If he had any further involvement in SpaceX I'd demand the US have nothing to do with him. But SpaceX is pretty much exclusively ex-NASA staff so I think it will be ok. Except that it unfortunately promotes Musk, who is in my mind a complete fraud.

     @arstechnica is this wise? There is no indication the Musk is loyal, and he has meddled in military matters before.
