I suspect (but know nothing about manufacturing) that 90% of quality is boring, tedious things like quality control checklists, documenting processes, training low-level staff and so on.
Neither of these things strikes me as something Elon Musk would consider time well spent. He's more like, "cybertruck!", "really self-driving this time!", and more recently, running Twitter.
- ejb999 4y ago...and yet somehow he manages to launch and land way more rockets to space vs what NASA has been able to do for the last 50+ years...and at a tiny fraction of the cost. Guess he really is an idiot.

However, also: > Rockets from the Falcon 9 family have been launched 204 times over 13 years (Also Falcon 1 launched five times). There are multiple _single types_ of US and Soviet rocket which have launched more times than that. Atlas I, for instance, 514 launches. Titan II, 396. Kosmos: 610. Soyuz: _1,964_.
