The interview with Everyday Astronaut where EA asks why Starship/Superheavy has two different fuel systems and doesn't that increase complexity, followed by the 2nd EA interview where Elon explains how he unified the fuel systems to reduce complexity (it was all his idea because he so smrt).
There are various other tales of him making difficult and tribunal-worthy demands of his design teams, and the anti-union stuff is a top down policy. It's his project to get humanity to Mars, and everyone is working under his direction (despite what Bill Nelson has been led to understand).
