mueller is/was? (his linkedIn is confusing) CTO of propulsion at spaceX. he's hardly unrecognized, but he also didn't head this up if you want to be a little bitch about it. mueller is a part time adviser. it was john bucknell who designed the PoC and jeff thornburg who head up Raptor development from conception until 2015. mueller transitioned off of developing rockets after leading up Merlin and Draco (but not Raptor). musk is the face of the company, and bankrolled a lot of it, and like i said delivers on crazy goals
i just think it's silly to talk about. yes, we all know its his team that did all this. but its his team. and he knows a lot about it, if you listen to press Q&As i thought he did better at answering technical questions than anyone in his position would be normally able to answer

I, personally, am a big fan of Musk’s work in Thailand in saving those kids with his mini-subs and, then, excellently, claiming one of the actual rescuers was a pedophile when his actual “contribution” was questioned by said actual rescuer.
