> You have personalities like Richard Branson and Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, who are not engineers.

Elon Musk has a BS in Physics, Jeff Bezos has an engineering degree (electrical/computer science.) Maybe they never got their PE licenses but they have strong enough technical backgrounds to grasp the science of what they're doing.
