      Ive heard china is rapidly catching up. End of last year they were launching either same number or close to what musk was launching. I thing that why he IPO Ed the company - high time to sell.

      Maybe he additionally beefing up the price drumming many launches from space data centers. But as many said seems like those are dumb

        Yeah this seems like hype before the IPO. All of the investors who don’t know how any of this technology works aren’t gonna care about anything except having a viable business case that happens to be expensive and involving the keywords AI, data center, space, and rockets.

        Once he gets his money he’ll move onto the next shiny object that captures his attention with his ridiculous amount of money. Time to find the next route to more investment money, contracts, and some other shiny IPO wrapped up in the sci-fi dream then only idiots can believe.

        The only surprising thing honestly is how many smart people he attracts actually make his businesses somewhat functional.
