> The fact that SpaceX's President and COO is a woman seems to get surprisingly little publicity

How much publicity do COOs of other companies get? Hardly none.

Shotwell is all over media. She has given tons of interviews that are on youtube/social media as well. Most of them are great so feel free to watch them at your leisure. She's also in the 2020 Time's 100 most influential list.

For a COO, she's gets surprising too much publicity rather than too litte.

> especially given that she seems like the more qualified engineer out of Musk and herself as well.

Why does she seem like it? Just because she's a woman? She's mostly worked on the business side at spacex.

Are you as concerned that the male COO of tesla is getting no publicity? It's a trick rhetorical question so you needn't answer it.

She's a mechanical engineer who worked in aerospace before joining SpaceX (and was considering leaving the industry because old space sucks), so technically she is more qualified than Musk (a physicist and economist who worked on supercapacitors and non-realtime not-highly-reliable software before founding SpaceX).
