I assume then that Boeing's corporate culture that ended up killing hundreds of people on the MAX will cause NASA to lean towards SpaceX for launch capabilities in the future? I at least know where Musk stands; one will never be able to be certain if Boeing's internal culture is fixed (back to prioritizing safety over profits).

But a little bit of weed on the Joe Rogan podcast, and that's the hill to die on.

The safety reviews were ordered in November 2018 [1]. The 737 MAX groundings started in March 2019 [2].

The 737 MAX fiasco is irrelevant to this series of safety reviews, but as the OP article states, Boeing may be subject to future reviews triggered by its own actions.

That's why I said, "in the future". Apologies if my thesis wasn't clear.

Sorry, I missed that. My point stands though: I don't think the 737 MAX fiasco sheds much light on NASA's decision-making in this case.

And how do we know he was smoking weed? It's an entertainment show; when we see people drinking or shooting heroin on TV, it is pretty unlikely that they are actually doing so. He burnt some unknown substance on an a popular interview and entertainment show and puffed it a couple of times... My bet is cloves.

I would hope so! If they don't I think it really would expose a lot of hypocrisy and favoritism, but I don't think we can say that for sure yet.
