Maybe he's a brand. The skill is that investors will put money into a company that has his name on it, and companies with money succeed.

No, it's clearly much more than that. He was able to get Grok to a frontier-level LLM while Apple and Microsoft, with far more money to throw at the problem, and more existentially threatened by not succeeding, have not.

Have Microsoft and Apple even tried? I haven’t seen any evidence that it’s their goal.

Microsoft didn’t but Apple did.

So did Meta.

Is there any secret sauce behind LLM other than big money? I'm under the impression that its a known recipe at its core and for many of the enhancements around it.

If there wasn't, Apple would have been able to buy one.
