Whoops you're right hahaha. Anyway countless spacex insiders will tell you that Musk's genius is in large scale aspects of rocket design and industrial engineering. Iterative design, vertical integration, part deletion and reusability are all concepts he has pushed extremely hard for at spacex, and these have been huge contributors to the company's success. Anti vax bullshit on Twitter doesn't negate that IMO. It might for thd average person or celebrity, but when someone has concrete achievements under their belt they should be judged on that. I don't worship him like you seem to think, I see his flaws and am absolutely relieved there's an adult running the show at spacex, but he is clearly integral to the company's meteoric rise.

I respect your opinion. At least we can agree that Space X is a fantastic company and certainly is the major driver of innovation in space transportation technology today. Stay safe and well.

Both Shotwell and tom Mueller say Musk is deeply involved.

Too bad. I’m certain Space X will do fine anyway
