How the U.S. government came to rely on the tech billionaire—and is now struggling to rein him in.
I debated posting this, because it's not near 100% about SpaceX. But it's over 50% about SpaceX and Starlink, I think, and it touches on the problem when a government depends on one private individual for several areas, especially when that individual starts to go strongly against government policy. It's pretty even handed, in my opinion.

Interesting read, thanks for sharing. Well, it's no secret that Musk derailed during COVID, and never came back on track.
