    A trillion dollars is about what the US spends on social security or the entire military each year. Somehow, I doubt a space company that keeps blowing up its rockets and not going into space is somehow worth the same as what it costs to build/maintain thousands of guns, ships, tanks, and jets or provide healthcare to millions of elderly and disabled.

    Like maaaaaaaybe if SpaceX was maintaining a large space station comparable to the ISS and having people walk on the moon on a regular basis. But right now, it’s a paper tiger. Fairy dust. Hullabaloo.
