With the capital they have on hand they could literally start space hotels as a business; they have more cash than the horrifically cost-inefficient ISS cost and just short of the entire Apollo program ( about $150 billion adjusted for inflation ).

Compared to options like that, building cars just looks like selling sugary water. Why not put 90% in the pot and really move things forward?
