Musk's MO with SpaceX is doing things way, way cheaper than competitor
Not sure why we give credit to Musk for SpaceX's success, given that it's his COO (Gwynne Shotwell) that is responsible for all of its operational success in the past few years. Case in point: despite Musk micromanaging Tesla, it's failed time after time to hit its self-imposed benchmarks; meanwhile--at Space X, where Musk has minimal management oversight, they've met and exceeded self-imposed and external benchmarks ahead of schedule.
Evidence strongly suggests that the Musk MO is the wrong MO, and he should let the professionals who know what they're doing handle things.
