When was Elon promising ReactJS projects? He promises cars, full self driving, etc. etc. Extremely consistently overpromises and underdeliver.
Anyway, "I want billionaires to fail" is fine, cool, I probably agree, but the question being argued was "is Elon running things inherently safer than the situation that led to Challenger etc.". I do not agree with the idea that Elon's companies have a culture where it is safe and repercussion-free to report that things are busted.
I was responding to your broader statements, which as stated were not strictly about the original narrow context about Challenger. Every company has pretty much the same or similar repercussions with respect to speaking up/out. Apple, or say Timnit Gebru at Google.

There's nothing to decide either way. There have been failures at his companies, and at the same time 13 crewed missions on SpaceX rockets without human casualties.
The problem is when internal stretch goals get communicated as business deliverables that drive stock price. There needs to be an expectation of good-faith for the latter.

That's what I'm saying. Promising to deliver brain-computer interfaces and failing at it is not the same as, pretty much anything else.

And this is different from say Apple (or the majority of large corporates) how?

The idea is to set a goal to strive towards.
What he has delivered is incredible.
