Even Tom Mueller, propulsion engineer & co-founder of SpaceX, publicly acknowledges that Musk is heavily involved in key engineering decisions. I get that Musk gets a large amount of hate these days, but at least find something material to criticize. "He's not even an engineer" isn't just an irrelevant argument, it's also wrong. (Except in the "certified engineer" sense, which I don't think anyone is claiming).

Yeah, but is Tom Mueller, whose boss is Elon Musk, really going to publicly state anything else?

I think he’s retired now, and only participates occasionally in an advisory role...?

>publicly acknowledges that Musk is heavily involved in key engineering decisions

Is his salary in any way tied to touting Elon Musk?
