As a former Tesla employee who would categorize myself as fairly liberal, yes. A very large number of them in fact. There aren't many companies where you get to work on projects that are truly innovative, and the people there are very passionate about the work they do.
When someone says "Tesla" or "SpaceX", people hear "Elon", which is the unfortunate part. Some of the most brilliant minds I've ever worked with in my life are at those companies and are genuinely passionate about the work they do. These companies are more than just Elon Musk.
Yeah, while I personally would never work for SpaceX considering what I've heard from friends about the working conditions and expectations, they are one of the few companies you can work for right now as an Aerospace Engineer that is actually forwarding space travel and a lot of people will put up with a lot of BS to work on what theyre passionate about. (The same goes for Blue Origin too)

Elon doesn't create anything. The liberals working in his companies do.
