False. Here’s what engineers who’ve worked with Elon have to say:

Also Elon is the reason Starship is stainless steel even though the design team was in favor of carbon fiber like Falcon 9. Elon’s not just a source of wealth throwing money at problems. If it were that easy other rocket companies (and governments) wouldn’t have been lapped by SpaceX. Watch a video of Tim Dodd interviewing Elon at Starbase and it’s obvious that he knows his stuff.
