Wild that people will call a guy who bought SpaceX the founder of SpaceX.

You’re arguing over semantics. Was SpaceX the most successful space company before Elon took over? Did they have reusable rockets?

If the answer is no, then clearly the catalyst was Elon taking over

Either go ague with Wikipedia, or put some argument in the comment when making claims you expect people to verify themselves. People are just going to look it up on Wiki.

> SpaceX was founded by Elon Musk in 2002 with a vision of decreasing the costs of space launches, paving the way to a self-sustaining colony on Mars.
