Before this Twitter debacle I was on the fence whether Musk is a genius or a fraud.

Today it is clear as day that he is the latter.

To me it's still an open question why SpaceX is so successfull -- is it because of him or despite him?

It has always been despite him. There are some brilliant people at SpaceX which made eveything from Falcon Heavy to Starlink to Dragon possible.

They needed to keep Musk distracted so he didn't interfere with operations too much.
