The post fails to mention that spaceX is not just a rocket company. Bundled with it is xAI, which is presumably losing money hand over fist. Package enough risk together and sell for a higher price to retail consumers. We’ve seen this play…

But that is surely offset by Twitter, which is doing great business.

What I don't get is what happened to 'I'm keeping spaceX private so we can actually get to mars', with the understanding that'd be almost impossible as a public company.

Welp, guess that idea got sold out...

It fell into place for my dense ass when I heard someone muse that inside SpaceX the joke is "Mars == Wars"

True or not, it rings with reality IMO
