This may go down in history as the most amazing (and maybe most expensive) art project of all time. I am just flabbergasted; this is astounding. I sincerely hope that the BFR comes to fruition in the way SpaceX has been billing it, and reasonably close in terms of timeline.
Its an Elon project? 1 in 10 odds it happens?

Honestly, this is beautiful. Let's fucking do it. No seriously...let's do it. We're humans - this is the kind of funny, beautiful, impossible stuff we can uniquely do. Capital allocation? Bleh, don't be so boring and uninspired!
How much of your capital do you plan to allocate? And do you plan to allocate any of mine (i.e., the taxpayer)?
Allow people to vote on government budgets and you'd get your answer.
I'd far prefer to decide what carve up of sectors tax is spent on than choose between politicians.

Perhaps in terms of absolute expenditures, but unlikely anything like it in terms of bang for the buck.
You might reserve that evaluation for a century or two. Arguably, we're still cruising on the de Medicis' and Borgias' investments in the arts.

He hinted during QA it was 5% of BFR development costs, and Elon said a "material" percentage, which for expense reporting usually means >= 5%. Dev costs were said to be $5billion, so that would be $250,000,000.
The questioner asked "is it more or less than 5%" -- I don't think they were confirming 5%, just repeating the number back (and Musk refused to say anything about the percentage at all).
