I believe is Musk is as technically skilled and capable as the average or above average engineer, and certainly as the above average billionaire. I believe he can read up on things and carry on intelligent conversations. I believe he can impress people who aren't used to strangers even trying to understand technical issues.

I don't believe he is solving any substantial technical problems at SpaceX or "designing rockets" himself.

Do you think this describes Zubrin, Watson, Sarsfield or the other experts in the reddit post I referenced?

Thanks for sharing your belief. What would be interesting and add more to the discussion is if you shared the basis for your belief. Perhaps you'll teach me something I didn't know and I can recalibrate my knowledge about Musk's expertise or lack thereof.
