That was not the claim, the claim was on the actual space frontier. And in that regard Elon Musk and SpaceX has not achieved anything.
At 4:10 he even praise that SpaceX works on reusability, and call landing the rocket a tremendous achievement.

You are arguing a strawman, the exact problem this video was made to address.

they have managed to set a trend for filling the night sky with shitty little low orbit satellites chewing up the ozone layer

and of course oversaturating LEO, because while they will come down eventually, those dead satellites will stay up there for a decade or more in some cases

  1. Elon Musk didn't achieved shit.
  2. NASA hasn't been achieving much lately either.
  3. Comparing current SpaceX with peak NASA is like comparing an infant with an adult.
