    The same with Musk. People are seeing him as the sole engineer of Tesla and SpaceX while in reality anonymous engineers did all this possible.

      And it doesn’t help Musk calls himself lead engineer or whatever at times.

        I think in one of his autobiographies he was claiming that he self educated how to build rockets from some books and I wonder how much of this is true and how much is coming from his ego.

      True, but without him both Tesla and SpaceX would not be here. Same for Jobs, without him Apple probably would not be what it is.
