SpaceX is a Nazi company, isn't it?

I get the emotion behind this comment (and the previous one you deleted), but putting leadership credit where it's due, 99.999% of the operational and strategic leadership at SpaceX is Gwynne Shotwell's.
She's essentially the CEO, even if not in title. And she does a great job isolating and insulating SpaceX and its staff from the specific tilts of its named CEO.

I 100% agree with that. Shotwell appears to be one of those few great leaders that don't appear to have the need for adulation at every turn (unlike the founder). Musk is lucky to have her.
However, the combined talents of her and her team, the profits they generate, and their accumulated incredible achievements all still accrue to the benefit of said N'azi.

I'm pretty sure that if the CEO is a Nazi then it's a Nazi company. We probably shouldn't be posting links to Nazi companies, we're not supposed to be making it political. Try and keep your feelings out of it, the discussion should be substantiative. A little less trolling with links to Nazi agitprop please.
