With Tesla and SpaceX he has middlemen who “filter” his whims to some degree. That's probably why Tesla is passibly usable as a car (without any “self”-driving, or charging the AC on a BLOODY touchscreen, until you need any service).
And any catastrophic failure in aerospace industries is significant enough to warrant extra-hard scrutiny (well, maybe except the destruction of ecosystems and Boca Chica residents' lifes).
