The original Founders had a lot of good ideas and did a lot of hard work. Unfortunately they let a clown come in and take them over and turn everything into a circus. Where people can say that sort of thing 100% accurately now. Tesla and SpaceX are both punch lines realistically anymore as is Twitter.
The lead who designed the merlin engine turned down being a founder as he wanted a stable income vs the low pay and risk of working for equity/founder status, so he was an employee. (Edit and I don’t blame the guy for that choice either, odds of a private rocket company succeeding was incredibly low)

SpaceX is not a punchline.
