Is this a serious question? You think SpaceX developed the industry-leading orbital rocket, launched hundreds of times to deliver thousands of in-house developed satellites utilizing homegrown, novel argon gas ion thrusters, to develop a global satellite internet system using inter-satellite laser links, their own in-house developed, incredibly inexpensive phased array antenna system, and everything else, and they forgot to use TLS?
OP was likely referring to this[1] which did in fact have lines like "tesla isn't encrypting their firmware and it's really easy to glean information from the vpn with a packet cap because nothing inside the vpn (was) encrypted".
So yeah, it's possible they did.

This is HN. Everyone here is more intelligent, capable and aware than people who are industry professionals in their specific field.
"Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community." It's reliably a marker of bad comments and worse threads.

Apologies. Will refrain from that in the future.

I guess the fact that musk says mean things on twitter has to discredit his massive dominance in three industries.
It's the same sort as those watching the game at the pub who know more than the team's manager.

You don't need to be a rocket scientist to see that the sole provider, globally, of a reliable, reusable, orbital launch platform--also a proven heavy and in-development unprecedented super-heavy--is industry leading. SpaceX is at least a generation ahead of not only every other commercial competitor, but also every national space programme the world over.
Who else would be industry leading if not for SpaceX? Genuinely asking, I don't get how a source would be even possible for this. Do you mean in terms of launch? Satellites in orbit? Because they are leading both of those by far
