It's funny that people call Musk a genius for stuff like SpaceX but nobody would say the same about Bezos if he succeeds with his space company. With Bezos everyone will just say he got the right people with the money he invested. With Musk people say he's the smart dude behind it even though he also just paid the right people to work for SpaceX with enough money.

You can't deny that Musk often invests at the right time in the right projects and people (he isn't the richest person for nothing) but that doesn't make him the genius behind the projects these companies work on.
