SpaceX is his only successful project, and that's because it has a defense contract.

    I am not so sure it is successful though. They are missing their targets by years left right and center and even recently admitted they will not be ready for NASA’s Artemis Project. https://www.space.com/spacex-starship-problems-delay-artemis-3-2026

    A company can miss targets and still be extremely successful if you look at the body of work. SpaceX absolutely dominates the space launch industry, there's nobody close.

    Especially space stuff.

    No project in space stuff ever meets targets... Unless they reduce the goals at some point because they know they can't make it.

    Look at Apollo (and this is no criticism) - they had some seriously lofty goals at first, and then as they learned stuff they changed goals to what was achievable with that new knowledge and developing tech.

    This is the heart of Agile project management - because you learn as you go it's easier to adjust priorities and targets.
