That certainly is evidence in favor of Musk's ability to manage a large scale, vertically integrated supply chain, assuming he is the one primarily responsible for managing and overseeing the VI supply chain at SpaceX. However, given his controversial public persona and some of the accusations that have been levied against him, I think someone else would be better suited for the job.

Generally he is "in charge" from a CEO perspective but does not really make day-to-day decisions, which is why everything isn't up in flames. For an example of something managed by Musk day-to-day, look at Twitter, which is perpetually burning.

SpaceX is definitely managed by a good team all things considered, in spite of the fact that the ownership at the top is unhinged.
