And how about Solar City, Boring Company, Twitter. Musk doesn't exactly have a perfect track record.

  All those poop and doge emojis make a ruckus.

  Wow, he did it. First manned flight to space.[1] err. First Private manned flight to space. [2] Err, First completely private crew to go to space... Is that actually something we're considering a first? Can you really tell the difference between a person who works for the gov't and a person who doesn't well enough for that to be meaningful? If you have to explain in the accolade what it means, then it's not much of an accolade.

    Who cares about first of anything. It’s all about operationalization. Dragon and Dragon 2 are rediculously successful programs that most people said was not possible. Most notably Boeing which is years behind sending crew to orbit even though receiving billions more from NASA. US astronauts would be depending on Russia right now to get to the ISS if not for SpaceX. Which means in this political climate there’s the good chance the IIS would be dead right now.

Having a perfect track record is a pretty high bar. Lots of entrepreneurs have failed with some of their businesses. We usually consider them successful if one works out really well, much less two.
