I don’t remember hearing those complaints about SpaceX. Nobody has anything good to say about ULA — it’s a joint venture of defense contractors.

Tesla makes a lot of stupid choices and are an example of survivorship bias in many ways. They make opinionated products and Musk has the instinct to play chicken and attract investors to keep the thing alive.

Fortunately, we can search:

* https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19905701

* https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20446963 (Boeing is part of ULA)

* https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22095120 (Claims that SpaceX is treated better than Boeing)

* https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22096380 (I've seen more accidents from SpaceX than launches from Boeing)

To be clear, I just searched "site:news.ycombinator.com spacex boeing" and grabbed the first few I could. Took me 5 minutes.

It probably isn't too far to go to find comments about how ULA hasn't had a single explosion or some such thing.
