SpaceX livestreams didn't get super popular for having a politician on them. They got popular for showing exactly what's happening with enthusiastic presenters narrating it.

Most people find speeches and politicians boring. They wanna see rockets flying, robots moving, etc.

“enthusiastic presenters narrating it.”

I seriously hate their narrators and all the cheering.

Last I heard, their narrators were regular SpaceX employees with day jobs. So somewhat understandable they have an emotional stake in mission success.
