Article excerpt

SpaceX is preparing for an IPO that has Wall Street excited, but the prospect raises an uncomfortable question: how do investors reconcile the company's commercial promise with CEO Elon Musk's documented history of racist statements and behavior?

The episode examines whether financial opportunity can or should coexist with concerns about leadership character and corporate culture.
