That's the Musk Myth.. in reality SpaceX was built by Mike Griffin who (1) funded him through In-Q-Tel and DARPA (2) crafted the commercial crew program for him while he was NASA administrator.

He even went with him to Russia before SpaceX was founded,

Care to elaborate?

Mike G also started the Space Development Agency, with a goal of funding govt LEO constellations with specifications matching Starlink.
