It’s not Musk, but the workers that did all of that.

???? who corralled those workers? I always see this argument, if Milton has the same ability to bring together talented people as Musk does, his bullshit will be gladly accepted - both have proven the ability to bullshit, but only one has brought together groundbreaking teams thus far

Corralling the workers does not mean doing the technical work. they are different skill sets, and the original comment conflated the two.
