“yeah he ~~does~~ owns some cool projects”

FTFY He only owns those things. There's interviews around about how at the beginning the only way SpaceX could get anything off the ground was by gaslighting the Muskrat into hyper-focusing on something irrelevant while actual engineers solved the hard problems. Management had what they called Elon's “handlers”, whose job was to keep him off critical things and whose motto was “just let him take credit for it”.

I didn't know that 5 years ago :/

Look, I really was never a fanboy of his. I am an engineer and I have seen his type enough. The good version of his type does their job which is sell sell sell, smooth things over, and cheerlead a bit. The bad version, well you get to see that on the news every day.

Yes we have a good type of version of him at my job. He dresses well, binges Ted Talks, and got me a new laptop when mine was running slow. He can have all the credit, I get all the glory.
