Everyone is throwing around "Elon Musk did this" and "Elon is going to save the world" and so on, but really at this point he's just a guy with some (very good) ideas and a big bank account.
I'm not saying he doesn't deserve any credit, the guy has accomplished more than many people ever will, but he hasn't done it alone. Between Tesla and SpaceX there are armies of engineers working on various projects. He might have had the idea for reusable rocket boosters but it's unlikely that he was the guy who designed the whole system and all the stuff that went into it.
