On the other hand, SpaceX runs rather professionally. It also has to, of course. My point is, they CAN deliver. Probably with Tesla they're just trying to get by with the least acceptable effort.
SpaceX is somewhat less impressive as a company than you might imagine.
They don't really have that much competition apart from Soyuz at the moment.
There is huge support in US to have a alternative to Soyuz.
Also NASA is prisoner of government corruption to the point where NASA operations are crippled in their capabilities - ie you get funding only if you keep unnecessary bureaucracy running for sake of some governor who won by promising space jobs.
SpaceX took all motivated and knowledgeable people gave them money to do what NASA was not allowed to do.
I am not trying to take away from their successes. The reusable modules landing in sync are amazing feat of engineering.
And SpaceX has actually working 'product', even more solid than Tesla (as a car its expensive, low volume, with a lot of issues compared to what we come to expect of a car).
Other stuff that Musk is trying to push are fairy tales, hyperloop is bad idea from the ground up. Boring company is boring. Its just bad implementation of a subway. And this neurolink is so far away from being anything usable, they are not even clear what it suppose to be. "Stick in some wires we will see what happens revolutionary tech TM."
But SpaceX business was waiting to happen. Musk was smart enough to throw money at it. So I wouldn't use spaceX as example of some godlike Musk abilities to create something out of nothing.
