    He also drove it to be created in the first place.

    Musk is a complete asshole - I have to mention this in every comment where I say something even remotely positive about Musk or the downvote brigade is even bigger than it otherwise will be - but his “just try this new thing and see what happens” approach to engineering is the secret sauce that has made SpaceX into the behemoth pushing spaceflight where it is today. Sure, it means they screw up a lot. But otherwise they’d be just another Blue Origin.

      Truish. I would say his money is the secret sauce. He can throw enough of it at something to actually see it through to testing. Him being a space guy is a miracle. He could have easily skipped SpaceX and gone straight to dicking around with social media platforms.
