Tesla and SpaceX are both pretty maniacal about not outsourcing programming, to my knowledge.

Interesting. Obviously they view it as a core competency. This would seem like a non-obvious and unnecessary expense to many, but (on the Tesla side) differentiates them from other automakers. Whether that results in a barrier to competition... we'll see.
Although if you believe these anecdotes from a supposed ex-employee then competency is not the word to use:

I only know of low-level tools being open sourced like service meshes, RPC clients, event busses, and metric servers. I’ve never seen internal applications open sourced. Do you have an example?
OP said out sourced, not open sourced
