The other option (and the one that would appear to be true in this case) is that SpaceX has more effective management, and Musk isn’t as closely involved.

Musk is very closely involved with SpaceX. There are extensive technical interviews with him on YouTube talking about the Starship program.

I mean, there are extensive technical interviews with Kim Jong Un on North Korean tv talking about whatever the random factory he’s visiting does; wouldn’t read too much into that.

(Actually, I’m not 100% sure if Un does this; Il was certainly big on it)
