Has SpaceX Been Indirectly Pwned By Lockbit?

Based on this, Elon Musk may have more to worry about than the gong show which is his leadership of Twitter:

Lockbit ransomware group has ransomed a 3rd party parts manufacturer for SpaceX – they claim to possess over 3,000 proprietary schematics for SpaceX.

In the ransom announcement Lockbit issued a message to El*n M*sk and SpaceX employees, taunting them.

I guess we will find out in a few days which way this will go.
