Amazing.

Musk has become the 4th richest person in the world... from government subsidies while making cars of marginal/poor(?) quality. All from delusional visions of environmental green-ness... paid for by brain-dead tax payers.

America... what a country!

The fastest too. Bezo's may be #1 but Musk gain more wealth in a year than he did in 3.

Sweet, I like Musk, even if it's mainly because PC Lefties hate him!

My personal theory is that the US government quietly backing SpaceX, if with nothing else but huge overpaid orders.

Because the alternative, the United Space Alliance is twice as expensive and not as reliable.

And you can't really launch a USAF spy satellite from Russia or China or buy French.

US has unmanned launch ability still, just airforce rockets limited size but ideal for spy satellites.

I think starship too much of a leap in 1 go doubt they'll pull that off in the next 10years.
