It's harder in different ways. Mass production of any complex product comes with a whole set of challenges that are unique and different from what SpaceX is facing.
It could be that Musk's style is better suited to SpaceX's sort of challenge than to the mass production challenge. The latter is less sexy leap forward and more a matter of a billion boring little "six sigma" style optimizations.

- taneq 9y agoThis was my (admittedly cynical) take. SpaceX is Musk's means to his self-declared primary goal. Maybe the best of the best candidates get nudged SpaceX-wards.
