Genius is such a loaded term. I think Elon's a smart guy. He has a big part in designing some of the rockets. However, I think his actual brilliance is in marketing. He (clearly) knows how to generate hype/buzz for all of his companies. But yeah, I find it hilarious that people think he's the only reason why SpaceX and Tesla succeed. Tesla's taking a nosedive and SpaceX isn't largely because of Gwynne Shotwell.
