I think SpaceX fooled a lot of people (myself included) that Elon was some kind of genius of visionary. But given everything he has done and said and everything about his past that has come to light I C think it should now be clear that SpaceX is a success in spite of Elon not because of him.
Whoever is actually running the show has effectively built an insulating wall around Elon to limit his influence, especially from day-to-day operations.
A few months ago there was an unverified account of this from an alleged SpaceX intern. I can’t say it’s true but it certainly rings true.
We’ve seen from Twitter he’s not much of a businessman (the deal he got himself into was terrible) and not he’s talking about software many of us here realize just how clueless he is about Tech.
With SpaceX not many of us knew much about rocketry so you know what they say: in the valley of the blind the one eyed man is king.
