Elon Musk has demonstrated on several occasions that he is an opportunist. In relation to his renowned companies Tesla and Space X. Tesla was not created by Elon Musk. The founders were engineers Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning, in 2003. It was only the following year, with millionaire investments, that Elon Musk took over the position. At Space X there is no denying its merit, as it was its investment that provided to its brilliant engineers for creating something revolutionary. What bothers me is that it seems like Elon Musk developed the technology and his engineers just replicated it.

There is no Tesla and SpaceX without Musk, same as it was Apple under Steve Jobs. Vast sums of money is rare and needs the right entrepreneur.

I have no idea that without Elon Musk's money nothing would have happened. My point is that he cannot take credit for the work of several other people alone. Regarding Steve Jobs, the board of directors had no qualms about removing him from Apple at a certain period, after everything he did for the company. Having money and leadership are fundamental for a company, but without technical experts nothing would be possible.

Of course technical team is part of the equation. Even Jobs spoke highly of Woz as a cofounder of Apple.
