    The title almost makes it seem like Elon placed the booster on the pad with his own two hands.

      He built a team, that in turn designed and built the rocket. IMHO his political views are borderline crazy, but can't deny that Mr Musk has mad skills to attract and motivate top talent to work for him.

          Don't worry. You won't see anything that makes you (shudder) reconsider the foundations of your beliefs, here... Carry on, comrade.

      Musk doesn't believe in freedom of speech.

      This is an interesting conclusion to a post which is composed purely of emotional reactions and mischaracterizations. If you’re concerned about “anti-intellectualism”, surely you should be demonstrating the caliber of post you want to see, right?
