Not literally everything. SpaceX is the only company to reuse an orbital first stage rocket, and they’ve done it hundreds of times. That’s a damn impressive engineering accomplishment:

Tbh that says a lot more about the people at SpaceX than it does about Musk
Yes, but he organized and funded those people. That was not a trivial task.
I suppose, but a manager could have done the same thing. He is doing it because he thinks he can get into the history books.
When has a “manager” ever persuaded world-class engineers to stop what they’re doing and build something cool? Who cares about words in a history book, when you have a fleet of autonomous fire-breathing metal monsters?
I think Elon’s been a total douche since the “pedo guy” comments, but that doesn’t invalidate his past accomplishments.
fair. But as far as I understand, he hasn’t done anything significant by himself since SolarCity (if the boring company doesn’t count, because wtf why would you just move traffic underground I could rant about this for hours sorry)
They were organized and funded by NASA, not him, like everything else he just takes the credit for others work
