Engineer, especially in rocket science, is a protected term, and I don't think Elon has obtained his PE, nor has he even gotten an informal education in the requisite engineering discipline.

So I wouldn't call Elon an "engineer" per se.

We are on a forum where everybody and their dog call themselves engineer. Whenever we feel like it, we just create disciplines on-the-fly.
