have you actually looked at the numbers of cost and revenue, or are you just talking out of your ass?

reuters: SpaceX generated about $8 billion in profit on $15 billion to $16 billion of revenue last year

SpaceX's annual capital expenditures quintupled in two years, hitting $20.7 billion in 2025, fueled by simultaneous Starship launch infrastructure and AI data center buildouts.

lol i'm not giving them money, how stupid would i be. the IPO is completely overvalued

i'm just saying, somehow they managed to make a spaceflight company profitable on its own (excluding political subsidies), which i believe is rare actually. boeing etc just do it because they get funding from NASA. i think it is fascinating how much money can be made with satellite internet.

anyways, i don't like musk at all. we need more competition from europe and asia.
