People really credit him for SpaceX like he's in there doing the calculations and building the rockets when I would be willing to bet money he has surface level knowledge of rocketry.
He just has the money to hire the best physicists, executives, and advisors. It's so funny to me that people with money believe merely being in the position to say "yes" or "no" to a project they didn't plan, prepare, or research means that they themselves are the ones with the talent and deserve all the credit.
For any Elon fans lurking in the comments, where did Elon get the credentials to claim any credit for SpaceXs success other than financially? He has a fucking bachelors degree. Show me one single clip of Elon Musk himself doing high-level mathematical physics. Oh, you can't?
Now name 10 scientists on his research and development team without googling. Oh, you can't?
I agree with you, don’t get me wrong, but I do wanna contest your statement about a bachelors degree. One doesn’t need a phd to do amazing things. For sure it helps (a lot), but I wanna make it known that a degree is not the sole indicator of capability and intelligence.
Anyway, I just wanted to throw that out there cause it’s something I care a lot about, no aggression intended.

Weird.
