Saying something like this just demonstrates that you have extremely limited technical knowledge, and are willing to say anything to defend Musk.
And defenses like this go a looooong ways towards destructing the myth that Musk had technical acumen, because the only people defending him are those that can't do the work.

The projection on here is getting cartoonish.
John Carmack, "Elon is definitely an engineer. He is deeply involved with technical decisions at spacex and Tesla. He doesn’t write code or do CAD today, but he is perfectly capable of doing so."

Agreed that the projection is cartoonish, but looking at the actual actions at Twitter speak for themselves.
And discounting the scale of Twitter is also quite cartoonish projection.
People keep repeating this trope as if Twitter is some paragon of technical excellence and innovation. It is no such thing. It is a popular website with a textbox for user input.
You don't need "talent", you simply need to people who get the job done.
