Elon might be able to take personal credit for booking 300k pre-orders (which is of debatable merit), but it was an army of incredibly dedicated SpaceX employees who landed that rocket. Credit where credit is due.
- noir_lord 11y agoNone of who would be working at SpaceX if he didn't dump a shit tonne of his time, skill and money into starting the thing. The employees are incredibly skillful but Musk is the lynchpin.
- aerovistae 11y agoIf Elon can't take credit for the landing, he can't take credit for the pre-orders either. Both companies' achievements are the result of thousands of people doing incredibly high-quality work, all overseen and directed and urged on by Elon. The credit goes to him and to them, for both.
- sixQuarks 11y agothat's why I mentioned it in the "PS". To take a corny line from the Steve Jobs movie, Elon Musk is the conductor. Without him, none of this is possible. Look at Apple after Steve Jobs. Still got the same hard-working people there. Do we still have the same inspirational products coming out? Not even close.
