I'm really tired of this claim. Every single time its made its entirely a figment of the writer's imagination, because there is no quote you can find of Elon attributing the success to himself. In fact when people attribute SpaceX's success to him in interviews he almost universally immediately deflects that praise to the people at SpaceX. I've seen that personally in numerous interviews over the last decade and a half I've been following SpaceX.
