Most people don't know anything about rocket technology or rocket emissions. Particularly when the transgression occurs in the upper atmosphere out of site.
However people due care when some pick up truck blows a cloud of black smoke in their face. They don't really care that the emissions are deleted.
The public just doesn't want black smoke blown in their face. It's not that complicated.
Those that like to roll coal eventually get the attention of the regulators who ultimately trace the issue back to Diesel Bros.
Diesel Bros. are held accountable. Elon Musk and rockets never come into the picture because the general public has no idea what Elon is doing with is rockets. They care even less about the emissions of his rockets.

The public has no problem prosecuting those that assist others who blow smoke in their face.
Elon gets away with blowing smoke because no one understands or realizes whats going on with his rockets. However if Elon's Tesla's were rolling coal he'd feel the backlash just like diesel Bros.
