By this logic, Steve Jobs has nothing to do with the iPhone.

  You are saying that like I have a problem with that.

  "Nothing to do" is probably unfair. "Masterminded" or "Steve Jobs created" is also unfair. Maybe we could talk in something other than extremes?

    Offering the opinion that there is no value to leadership seems unsupportable.

      Maybe but no one says the Pope painted the sistene chapel. Elon Musk commissioning rockets and cars might have value but that doesn't mean he made them

        In interviews, Elon has stated he spends around 80% of his time on engineering. So it is his vision, his money, his company, AND his engineering. There are other makers, too, but he did make them.

        I'd be curious what "engineering" he's referring to.

> A group of engineers under the name of one man made rockets. Musk himself did not do this. If you're going to cheerlead, cheerlead for he people that did the work. A group of engineers under the name of one man made rockets. Each engineer did not do this. If you're going to cheerlead, cheerlead the person that brought the engineers together.

  Why is that team member any more important than any other team member?
  - duaneb 10y ago
    It's not. But it's no less important that the team itself, which isn't very useful without direction.
