I would guess that 80-90% of owners are ignorant (some willfully), or try to separate the man from the company, and not just unrepentant fanboys/girls

But yeah, agree on the fanboy thing. SpaceX too (which personally I find extra unfortunate since they’ve done some REALLY good things in the LEO launch market and space stuff in general).

I wonder how much of SpaceX’s success has happened not because of Musk, but despite him

I’m not even remotely a fan of the guy at this point, but from everything I’ve read, a lot of it was actually because of him.

Tesla too.

But also a lot of the negative parts of those companies, and failures. And at the Boring Company. And TwitX, etc.

Whatever contributions he’s made are rapidly evaporating, though. He had plenty of problems 1015 years ago, but the last 5 have been a massive, rapid slide in his contributions, reputation, etc.

Ah yes that must be why SpaceX employs multiple professional handlers whose responsibility it is to distract manchild Mosk with shiny bits whenever he gets close to making an actual decision
