Did he though or did Gwynne Shotwell and the actual engineers? He deserves some credit, but I'm not sure it's quite as much as you think it is.


I always laugh out loud when people say that.

Does Boeing and Lockheed Martin not have “actual engineers” and “actual factories”? Of course they do. Probably had more and better for most of SpaceX’s life.

They just can’t utilise what w have, because they have no vision beyond “cost-plus contracts”. That’s on management. That’s why Elon literally caused SpaceX and all/most their successes.


Gwynne looks after the business, not the Engineering. She's been clear that's Musk's department.
