That's the Musk Myth.. in reality SpaceX was built by Mike Griffin who (1) funded him through In-Q-Tel and DARPA (2) crafted the commercial crew program for him while he was NASA administrator. He even went with him to Russia before SpaceX was founded, https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_D._Griffin https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_D._Griffin

  Care to elaborate? Mike G also started the Space Development Agency, with a goal of funding govt LEO constellations with specifications matching Starlink.
