Musk seems to have a good understanding of the technical rocket stuff. Have a look at his tours/interviews on the 'Everyday' Astronaut" channel.

  But that also isn't day-to-day operations.

    I'm not saying that. Have a look at the tours. He seems to be very up on designs for each component of the rockets. What the current status is, tradeoffs of different options. Probably this means he spends his 30 hours/week of SpaceX time sitting in on technical meetings and the other departments get neglected.

      my point is that he is knowledgeable - but the heavy work, the real work is done by the professionals. At best he learns what is going on, at worst he is hindering progress.

        ehm sure, the job of a CEO is making the strategic decisions, not doing the „heavy“ work
