The Benefits of Vertical Integration
Musk is so involved in almost every aspect of SpaceX that he's been called a Nanomanager. He can do this because of his immensely thick tree trunk and fundamental understanding of physics and engineering. It's that insane breadth of experience that allows Musk to maintain such an abnormally high level of control, everything that happens in his company. Most of today's companies avoid taking on the massive scope, vertical integration requires but for a quality control freak like Musk or Jobs, it's the only way they'd have it.
