No. He's just another corporate executive. He might have his hands in some potentially altering technological companies like Neuralink and SpaceX but he him is just the CEO/owner/dictator/whatever authoritarian style he wants this week where as there's a lot of people who do the actual work for these companies who should be getting the recognition.
His wealth doesn't mean anything, his mindset isn't making the developments and his marketing is that of the first rich who needs eaten.

His mindset is the reason SpaceX exists though. How do you find a way around that?

If it weren't him it'd be Bezos and Blue Origin, or Branson and Virgin. Musk has his eyes set on Mars when SpaceX is actually taking the steps to get to space first. Sure he put up the initial capital to get it going but he could walk away from the company today and it'd still go well.

Yeah but it wouldn't have started without him. A good business sense will help you find the right employees to make something work.

Agreeing with the other commenter, really all he did is add money. It's not like SpaceX is the only player. He's not the mastermind of the tech either.

Blue origin wouldn’t exist if SpaceX didn’t. Also blue origin is way behind.
