If Elon had divested and left SpaceX, the astronauts would have been returned by SpaceX without Elon.

I don't care how much money he has. It doesn't impress me. SpaceX doesn't impress me. Musk is not an engineer, he's not a decent coder, he can't even play a video game without being caught cheating. His claim to fame isn't that he "did" anything. It's that he "owned" things.

All he is, is a spoiled rich bigot who's good at buying companies. He didn't "create" a thing. Comparing him to DaVinci is like comparing your favorite pet hamster to an elephant. The only thing they have in common is that they're both animals.
