Shotwell doesn't "run" it. She is president and COO, sure. The vision, strategy and engineering is all Musk. Read the book Liftoff. Musk doesn't get much credit for his engineering work and often gets written off as just "investor" type.
- etchalon 5y agoThe "engineering" is not all Musk. Vision and strategy, yes. Musk is not a rocket scientist.
- wrycoder 5y agoIt's engineering, at this point. I'm quite sure that Musk understands the engineering totally and makes important contributions. Plus, his instincts in providing direction as a CEO are excellent. Very few CEOs understand tech like Musk does.
- sytelus 5y agoAt least during initial days, Musk spent 90% of time on engineering at SpaceX. He self-thought in rocket engineering and can easily match knowledge of many experts in the field. Many of big engineering decisions were done by Musk, at least until Falcon 9.
- jjmorrison 5y agoSeems as much a rocket scientist as anyone.
