Without Musk, there would be no SpaceX, no reusable rockets, and no focused effort toward becoming an interplanetary species. Without his leadership, the talented people at SpaceX would be elsewhere—likely at NASA—buried in bureaucracy and achieving far less. Just look at Jony Ive. A talented person who has hired most of the talented designers who worked at Apple during the Steve Jobs tenure. What have these talented people done without the Steve Jobs leadership?

SpaceX or Musk just don't really fit into the cateogires that well, and the committee is probably not all that desperate for Musk's attention to give him a throwaway Peace prize.
