I really enjoy HN because when I say like "Elon's Spacex" is doing great things-- rabid individuals come out to tell me that actually this other person is in charge and deserves the credit -- Gwynne Shotwell?

But now -- when things are bad -- why is their name not brought out? Elon is the convenient scapegoat?

Maybe it is because the insane schedule is a direct consequence of his deadlines?
These are major violations of not just labour codes but also just in general ethical standards.

So if Shotwell accepts to follow the pressure from Elon, they are just as complicit -- especially as COO.

I'm not sure why you would defend them as they are pretty much in charge of the day to day operations.
