CP, Before you completely disregard the achievements and contributions of SpaceX ask one question . . .

When NASA determined that the risks were too great to return Williams and Wilmore from the ISS on the Boeing Starliner what vehicle did they choose to essentially rescue the stranded astronauts?

A SpaceX Dragon spacecraft was chosen.

Musk is a manager, visionary, and maybe even a dreamer. However, to label him a genius is a stretch, regardless it would be disingenuous to dismiss his scientific contributions he has fueled the past two decades.

Yes NASA funded SpaceXs and Boeings development of their spacecraft. Boeing got more than twice the funding SpaceX got and has yet to deliver a human rated space craft (Starliner.)

Please don’t mistake me for a Musk “Fan Boy.”

Plenty of his projects do not impress me. A fair minded person would give him credit for SpaceXs achievements.

It is insincere to dismiss his accomplishments considering he can deliver 4 astronauts to the ISS for 56 million each where Roscosmos charges 65 million per astronaut and Starliner (Boeing) charges 90 million per astronaut.
