Elon has a fantastic image. He is just an amazing PR machine.

  He has also, you know, achieved stuff. Actual rockets, actually going up. There's a tendency of people to devalue the successes of others by attributing it to marketing. But for the life of me I can't find a way that would work to sell rockets to governments. Musk has also started at least three somewhat successful businesses, and at this point I don't think either marketing or luck are sufficient explanations. It reminds me of someone else. I hope Musk gets his pancreas checked often enough.

    Yeah, it does add a certain degree of credibility when you actually own your own spaceships.

    Didn't mean to demean Musk's achievements! He is indeed an amazing individual and I hope he continues to push space/cars/solars etc. forward.
