Tesla paid back the loan, and did so early. Implying they survived merely because of a loan is reductive.

SpaceX survives because, like Tesla, they're profitable. They're able to do things cheaper than alternatives, because they innovated and created reusable rockets.

Many current and former Tesla employees received stock options and are now quite wealthy.

Tesla is an obvious American success story. Without Tesla, EVs would likely still be rare.

What system do you propose to avoid successful entrepreneurs getting too wealthy for your taste?

With 2, we may never bother becoming stricter. And any new code is held to a low standard, which creates "type debt".

With 1, new code is held to a strict standard, and existing code can selectively have looser typing rules via nested tsconfigs, or by disabling TS in spots if necessary.

How? Because he helped build multiple extremely valuable companies.

His wealth primarily stems from *equity* in those companies, and he funded them in hard times despite many near bankruptcies. Both SpaceX and Tesla would likely have went under without his financial support.

I'm saying it's good...but it's important to know how to code so one can debug and validate the results

Example: The Dropbox team used this pattern to test many OS and file system edge cases quickly on CI.

Result: Now we can code and test against a mocked implementation in non-prod environments. The mocked implementation can be deterministic and fast, and thus allow quickly testing our business logic against many scenarios. In prod, the wrapper implementation merely forwards to the real APIs.

Still early so can’t say
