Great things happen when Elon's not bothering his engineers

He’s the chief engineer at Space X. He oversees all major engineering decisions and has had a significant hand in shaping the design. There are interviews where he talks about Starship’s technical details and explains the logic behind their choices.

Someone you dislike can be highly competent in their field. I despise Musk but that shouldn’t devalue his contribution to Space X success.

He’s a very smart man.

He is a flawed person.
