On the contrary - not telling other people to do things doesn't take that much time. Especially with SpaceX, if you have a team in place you trust, you don't have to even think about telling them what to do. They present a plan you can accept or push back on. It doesn't take much time to be the front-man to several organizations. And Musk excels at it. Being the public face of an excelling team that you assembled is a rare skillset (at the level Musk operates).
