SpaceX successfully launched this. It spun out of control after separating. Elon is a piece of work, but this one isn't his fault.

If you want names here, Max Haot is the CEO/Founder of Launcher, which is a subsidiary of Vast, owned by Jed McCaleb. Jed's a crypto billionaire, but I'm hoping he's more like Jared Isaacman and the Vast space stations work out.
