I would like to read opinion from someone working at SpaceX. I don't trust what Elon Musk brags at all.

At the very least you have to say he has a knack for hiring the right people.

> has a knack for hiring the right people

buildings teams is part of my day job, Musk's ability to get the right people in the right spot at the right time and motivated is his biggest gift IMO. If you're good at that then there's really nothing you can't actually do.

Fortunately there are entire books written on SpaceX's founding years from interviewing employees which support the point that Musk played a pretty big role in SpaceX getting to where it is now.

Sure I have, you disagree with pretty much all of the leader of SpaceX who have said the opposite. Have you not bothered to look? You disagree with the journalist who has spent most time investigating space. You disagree with most experts who have studied the topic.
