People are being critical of SpaceX for this, but it makes perfect sense for their business model.

As climate change disrupts life on earth there will be greater demand for SpaceX's and Tesla's products and services. It is only rational Elon Musk would seek to accelerate climate change - it would be foolish of him to try and stop it. Every ton of carbon in the atmosphere will eventually become money in his pocket.

A back of the napkin calculation shows that launching 1000 Starships a year is still a rounding error in humanity's carbon footprint.

If Elon wants to measurably accelerate climate change, he's doing it all wrong. So, in all likelihood, he doesn't.
