I recall something about the engineers in SpaceX wanting to follow NASA's lesson and Elon basically telling them "trust me, we don't need that".
Well, all things considered, Musk is still part of what made SpaceX exist. Real world may work in obscure ways.
It's only that he didn't make it happen via his (non-existing) genius. He made it via his deep pockets and ego.
I don't think you fully got the meaning of my comment. Other than that, Musk's deep pockets were shallow at some point.
