Musk is a CEO, not an engineer.

  He is a CEO and an engineer, one known in particular for going from zero to rocket scientist level impressively quickly.

    Are you claiming that Musk does engineering work for SpaceX?
    • TeMPOraL 10y ago
      From what I heard yes, he does, if you count his nanomanagement. Moreover, he most definitely did initially - SpaceX didn't start with full complement of trained aerospace engineers on board. He learned his rocket science before starting the company.

      He regularly participates in design discussions with engineers, and reviews their designs, I think. From what I hear, outside of software startups, he's one of the most technical CEOs in the world.

  Most definitely an engineer, then a CEO.
