I really wish Elon would get tired of SpaceX so it can actually be utilized as an amazing tool to further man's exploration into space instead of some vanity project he probably cares less about than Twitter. I'm sure all the SpaceX people would like to get an actual visionary to lead as well.

He already borrowed a billion from it to buy Twatter. What happens the next time he wants to buy something? Hate to see them go the way of ULA, just this money printing machine that the owners don't feel the need to reinvest in.

Possibly, but SpaceX is doing really well. At least for now, there is little competition.

Boeing was doing really well in 1969.

I think it's funny that there's a reverse correlation for how well his companies do based on involved with the company he is.

I think it speaks for itself.

The report is not publicly disclosed as it contains proprietary information with specific details to Starship and SpaceXโ€™s internals.
