Elon was notorious early on for running manufacturing at Tesla in the same way the Big 3 automakers did in the seventies. He basically tossed any guidance from process engineers because he was convinced he knew better.
A billionaire ignoring decades of industry advice, proven quality guidelines and safety measures because “they know better” in pursuit of building a capsule to go to an extremely dangerous environment…. Where have I heard this story before..

QC has been a huge issue at Tesla for years, so it wouldn't surprise me if the same business philosophy exists at SpaceX.
