One time could be a fluke, sure. But if a guy meets with engineers all day in rocket companies, robot factories, car factories, biotech research labs, and software teams, tells them what to do, fires people who don't do it... and largely succeeds in all of the above and remains years ahead of competition, then the burden of proof that he's "not smart" or "a grifter" is on the accuser. I don't use or own any Musk products, other than X, so I don't have a horse in this race. But I do have eyes.
