the thing about elon is that the things you hear from both sides are true. yes he understands every aspect of rocketry better than 95% of his engineers. yes there are several leadership roles designed to upward manage elon and protect the company
the stories you hear of him staying late and solving difficult engineering problems that other people have given up on are true, the stories of him irrationally firing people for minor screwups are true
better to think of him as some sort of pagan god (powerful, extraordinary, chaotic, capricious) than as a savior or hero
