    I wonder how much of SpaceX’s success has happened not because of Musk, but despite him

      I’m not even remotely a fan of the guy at this point, but from everything I’ve read, a lot of it was actually because of him.

      Tesla too.

      But also a lot of the negative parts of those companies, and failures. And at the Boring Company. And TwitX, etc.

      Whatever contributions he’s made are rapidly evaporating, though. He had plenty of problems 1015 years ago, but the last 5 have been a massive, rapid slide in his contributions, reputation, etc.
