Elon is deeply involved in engineering decisions in his companies, and has by all accounts deep knowledge in those areas.

And yet randos on the web keep asserting he's not an engineer. Is there any factual basis for this? Is it just that he doesn't have a degree with that word in the title?

He has a physics degree instead of an engineering degree.

I suppose most people don't know that physics degrees are largely accepted as engineering degrees.
