Elon is famously managed up by the point people at his companies. I don't really know how much credit you can give him besides having the bravado to greenlight stunts like this. Which, you know, cool -- it appeals to the 12 year old in all of us, which is about how mature he is.
Who recruited, hired, and directed the point people at his companies?
I never claimed he’s out there wrenching on starship. The claim is that he builds companies that do spectacular things, which is why his spectacular claims for the future achievements of those same companies are not taken immediately as fantastic as they would be if spoken by any other person alive.
