SpaceX. Come on, it's not like he invented the rocket or something, it's just another rocket company. I guess it's special because it has a touch screen interface for the crew?

Meh, just another auto company. The only real thing going for them is that they found a way to get around state laws about direct sales to customers (Musks deep pockets likely have something to do with this). Other than that, meh. Power plant change sure, but special, I don't really think so. It's not like he invented the BEV, he just dumped tons of money into the hands of smart people and said make something that will make me more money.
