It's funny that in the show House of Cards, Space X was shown to be a company where someone got such a high salary he couldn't turn it down.

House of Cards does not fact check, and plays fast and loose appropriating real world names and applying fictional attributes to them. It is obnoxious and frankly it is harmful.

The claimed harm is probably that viewers will be inclined to take it as fact (and then public opinion, voting habits, etc. form according to that distortion).
