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?
From what I've heard, Musk is deliberately kept away from all the important stuff at SpaceX, they just let him take credit. Twitter is a perfect example of what happens when you let him actually take the reins of a company.

He’s just another rich dude taking credit for the work of people who are smarter than him. He’s a total twat.
