Debatable but likely not insane: there MAY be an issue with SpaceX' hiring

OK, this is just social science but note this:

Musk posted today for people to give 3 proofs of exceptional ability if they want to join the most expensive and "most innovative" company ever - Spacex.

But how can you innovate when you follow the rules? what if you send 1, 2 or 4 reasons? and why would anyone work for someone with very questionable and controversial views? It doesn't seem possible for Spacex to revolutionize the world, change it: sure they do...for 20+ years but they fail to revolutionize for 20+ years. And the reasons are obvious.
