Good for you I guess. You know he had little, if anything, to do with this launch. It’s still amazing what Space X has done in pass few years.

Except the whole founding the company, deciding on the best way forward part, hand picking his partners, personally intervieweing and approved all of SpaceX's 160 early employees.
But ya- any of the engineers there now could have done all that to lead up to this.

THIS LAUNCH. This one, as in not talking about anything else with Space X. Not talking about the lead up.

CEO's are part of the process of everyone else getting things done.
How could they have ever launched this today without Musk setting them up and getting them ready?
He probably had more to do, if anything, with getting this launched today than everyone "on the ground" combined.

He hired a wonderful chief operating officer Gwynne Shotwell. Again he had little (which means he had some) to do with this launch.

Yes, finding good talent is a great skill to have.

Their accomplishments are stepping on the shoulders of his accomplishments- which means this launch is mostly to do with him.
They dug that ditch strait but Musk showed them where to dig to find the treasure.
