> He's single handedly

Tesla employs almost 80k workers, and SpaceX employs almost 10k. Elon might have had the idea, but it's the employees that made it possible and a reality.

Traditional car companies and traditional aerospace employ far more people, and those people are not dumb. Leadership matters.

I do agree that it isn't "single-handedly," but when I hear Elon speak he definitely does shout out to the team. I haven't heard him take 100% credit for these things.

Without Musk would that same group of people accomplished those things?
