Irrelevant. HN is not the place to randomly inject flamewars about politics. It's explicitly against both the purpose and guidelines of HN.
Seems like you need to review the guidelines again, because they're pretty clear:
> Eschew flamebait. Avoid generic tangents. Omit internet tropes.
"randomly inject flamewars about politics"
Basic morality is not "flamewars" or "politics".
I didn't miss anything. The parent that they can choose to ignore it forever, it's a perfectly valid option. It just won't disentangle tech from politics.
The fact that Elon Musk's companies take contracts from the CIA and NRO is not flamebait. It's context that informs how we evaluate future SpaceX ventures.
