The “great capitalists” in this country are small business owners; they provide jobs and great products and services without bilking taxpayers for the privilege.

True, but they aren’t going to build cheap space rockets or feasible alternative power systems in the warehouse behind the strip mall.

Politics aside, he reminds me a little of a modern Henry Kaiser. Big things take big risks. He built some ships that sank (electrical welding was high-tech in WWII and took a learning curve to get right) but he also built a LOT of ships that floated very well, and also the Hoover Dam, under budget and ahead of schedule, with new ideas.
