Between the financials on one side, vs. graveyard, innovation by buying startups, dropping "don't be evil", and ads everywhere on the other, I don't know if you're suggesting this is good or bad.

#5I hear they're also planning on opening an artisan Italian food truck on the dark side of the moon to capture an early slice of all that anticipated Mars traffic. Should be rad.

#6The incredibly obvious play here is teleoperation and low-latency robotics, and then selling that capacity to whoever handles the bot hardware. It remains to be seen if public investors are as ambitious as the engineers.

Care to explain what investment fraud SpaceX just committed?
Starship has as much chance of working to spec as the Theranos machine. Except the scam is three orders of magnitude or more larger. But if you take a step back and ignore the hype, the rocket is way too big for orbital delivery of payloads, and there is a very real likelihood that it will never get beyond low Earth orbit. It will work any day now was exactly Elizabeth Holmes's pitch.
