Is the answer to the question “why is SpaceX seemingly > 1 OOM more effective than any other space company?” just “Elon Musk”? If so, what exactly makes him so insanely effective at SpaceX, even vs. his other companies? If not, I would love to know the actual answer. https://t.co/YofJaNNr1A

I think a lot of the replies are underestimating SpaceX. If you squint, SpaceX *is* the entire space industry. There’s something to understand here.

@mbateman isn't the answer simply "Boeing has been a complete dumpster fire for decades on every front and anyone semi-competent would be OOMs better"? like we've seen, it's not just their space stuff but even their core business that's crashing from the sky in flames

@yashkaf It’s not just Boeing though, the Boeing thing is illustrative
