Apple was built around Steve Jobs - he didn't parachute in the company like your average bean-counting CEO does

  This is what I wonder about Elon Musk. In retrospect, of course humans could build sexy electric cars, reusable rocket boosters, and ubiquitous satellite data services. But humans, or perhaps more accurately, corporations and governments, DID NOT do those things. It takes an overwhelmingly powerful personality to get anything done, despite the fact there are billions of capable people on this planet.

    to a large extent, the government built those things, and chose musk as the guy to manage the build

    Yeah, at best those billions are capable of taking orders and executing it.
