While Elon Musk is definitely a big contributor to SpaceX’s progress, it’s incorrect to say “guy with no formal background in engineering did this” as SpaceX has a lot of employees, not just Musk, who contribute to the companies progress who have engineering backgrounds.

In fact Elon has formal engineering skills background. “Two years later he matriculated at Queen's University at Kingston in Canada.

Don’t argue with the “no note needed” comments in your proposed notes, you’re aiming to have this shown alongside the original post.

NNN - The original post makes it seem that education is relevant to do what Musk has done, and it is true that Elon Musk doesn’t have an official “engineering” degree. However, it’s an opinion, so commentary should be in the comments, not community notes. [Link] NEEDS_MORE_RATINGS(6-0-46) Author
