> Is SpaceX succeeding because of Musk or despite of Musk?

Probably because. Just look at Blue Origin with Jeff Bezos. Or look at the US, EU, Chinese space industry. It does look like Musk adds something to SpaceX that makes them achieve above the rest.

I think it's pretty clear what that something is too. a) pushing people to question assumptions and continually try new things to cut costs and improve performance, b) slave driving employees in exciting industries where you can get away with that.
