Fusion power can't come soon enough. Maybe it's time for Musk to start working on that. He actually said in an older interview that he would like to tackle it eventually.

He recently said (paraphrasing) that it wasn’t particularly productive investing in Fusion when there’s a giant, very efficient fusion reactor in the sky. We’d be better off improving solar panel efficiency and energy storage solutions.
He's also said rockets are the only transportation where electric wont work.
Fusion power doesn't really help with rocketry, though.
It helps a hell of a lot, once you're in orbit!
Could probably have a smaller rocket too
How?
