Well, I never considered the possibility that famous people aren't even real. They could easily hire actors and lookalikes, right?
Either way, I think that his value is mostly in the fact that he's good at getting government grants and picking technologies that are popular. Whether he delivers or not isn't the point, I think in this environment we clearly have the technological ability to do these things, just not the corporate will. It's just not profitable, yet, and if Musk makes it profitable it doesn't matter how many government dollars he used to make it possible it's good for everyone.

He didn't even luck into anything, he used other peoples money to give it to himself. X.com was from vc money. Then used their money to buy PayPal then bailed.

He uses Tesla shareholder money to bail out Solarcity and his cousin. Then he buys debt in Solarcity. Solarcity and Tesla reap solar credit and energy credits from federal government. SpaceX is fully subsidized by the us federal governments space exploration subsidies.

It takes about a thousand dollars per kilogram to move something into LEO with Musk's very generous estimates of falcon. It's exponentially more to return a kilogram of mass. Iron ore for comparison sells at 80 dollars a ton.

absolutely
if you go back to every market mania in history there is a "visionary" who is seen as a genius while their already overpriced stock skyrockets before it all ends

when you see articles like "Is TSLA overpriced? Sure, but you should still buy it", you may want to consider increasing the size of your cash emergency fund

Why the fuck would they be mining on earth to take to other planets?

>It's exponentially more to return a kilogram of mass
lolwut?

The point is to find low grav planets rich in materials that are rare on earth and bringing them home.
