Comment on Would SpaceX continue to be immoral without Musk?

I mean Volkswagen is now a normal car-brand loved by millions since that dictator who created the brand through Porshe died. So yes a brand can become moral after the fact that their creator was an immoral person.
Considering that Volkswagens creator was way worse than Elon.

Not sure you want to use VW for current morality. What with the whole “constantly getting caught trying to skirt emission standards and other legal minimums that cost them money to hold to”

Well I was answering the question. But VW is now pushing EV’s anyway and it’s still, that is my opinion, more moral than Elon.
I give Volkswagen the benefit of the doubt that they had a turn-around and their massive investments in EV will pay off.

That is an extremely low bar to set, and does not mean they are moral at all.
While it’s good they’re going the EV way now I think that’s more of a market strategy thing than a moral decision.

While yes they’re no longer on the actively shooting babies in the face level bad, I’m not sure they’re a good example of a moral company is my point
More moral than the thin skinned Nazi nepo baby sure but that’s a low bar
Pushing EV today is just following the market trends and not strictly a moral choice
