O’Leary shared his thoughts during a recent Fox Business appearance.
O’Leary said there has always been “fat” in the federal government, but “no one’s really taken a knife to it” yet. He then said there are “always people with great ideas, but executional skills are almost impossible to find. Every idea that Musk brings to the market he executes on, including catching a giant rocket out of space.”
O’Leary is very impressed with Musk’s leadership at SpaceX — especially in the wake of Musk’s recent successful test flight.
