      “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”.
