The collective farm that produced SpaceX is the United States Government. It carried out all the research and development necessary to create and further the North American space program. And it is existential in furthering it to this day. Without this source of contracts, research projects and income SpaceX would not be able to produce its commercial spin-off products.
If it weren't for the Wright Brothers, NASA would never have existed.
Maybe so but I am not arguing with that. The original claim is much weaker: No "collective" produces innovation.
You obviously never been to a collective farm.
Despite government support to the extent much larger than that for SpaceX collective farms have nothing to show for it.
Maybe because they are farms and not rocket makers
That's not an excuse. In socialist Czechoslovakia, a coop farm produced computers.
