KlutzySofa··on Tesla Roadster
Nobody would launch an actual payload on the initial flight, and they had to do 3 successful launches to satisfy the USAF´s NSSL requirements before they could launch very profitable payloads for them.

The Roadster was Musks personal vehicle, so Tesla didn't pay for that either.

KlutzySofa··on Astronauts told to return to ISS after sheltering over air leak repairs
Crew Dragon can do 7 astronauts, but NASA only wanted SpaceX to build it for 4.

The contingency for the Starliner astronauts in case of an emergency was to strap them down in the cargo area. Which wouldnt be optimal, but better than certain/likely death onboard the ISS.
