I haven't watched it, but read the book that inspired the movie 'When The Heavens Went on Sale'.
One of Ashlee's most interesting beliefs is that Peter has a better understanding of how to build rockets than Elon. Considering he's spent significant time with both people and has written books on each of them, that statement carries some substantial weight.
I think most people in the tech industry believe Elon is the world's best rocket builder.

He may have a better understanding of rockets, but isn't Elon evidence that understanding just enough yet being an expert on organization/execution is most of what matters (especially in the world of atoms)?

Maybe, and that's something Peter needs to prove, but I think most people aren't even open to the possibility that someone knows more about building rockets than Elon.
In the same way, people basically assume that Elon is the most competent car builder among all car company CEOs, and they're probably right. IMO it's really gutsy for someone like Ashlee to go against public perception like that.
