Self driving cars that can travel across the country on their own should be here by 2017 at the latest.
Worse: pay-walling and login-walling Twitter are un-delivery.
"can" -> he has shipped at least one product.

Different to "guaranteed to ship every product to 100% success".

Let's try "Musk has proved he can ship more than one entirely unrelated product to the scale that it influences an entire industry", which is different to many people who have shipped a single product. It shows that he's either ridiculously lucky, and/or has significant skill in this area.

He's very annoying, but the man can ship.
