Elon or SpaceX? It's important to separate the person and their actions and the company. I wouldn't be surprised / hope that long term Musk leaves or is ousted from SpaceX entirely.


Elon. He's the front man and CEO of the company. Just like Tim is for Apple.


The actual reason why the two aren't comparable is that Elon is not just the CEO, but also a significant owner of SpaceX (42% equity; 79% voting control, according to Wikipedia). Tim Cook owns less than 1% of Apple.
