The first catch of Super Heavy by the chopsticks was 18 months ago. Tesla started mass production of a dedicated, steering-wheel-free robotaxi five days ago. The first flight of the new Raptor 3 engine should happen any day now.

Elon is doing amazing things on a regular basis. What would drive someone to pretend otherwise?

If Elon can do all of that why does he employ so many people?

Because instead of focusing on Space he has gone all in on AI (after going all in on AI for years with Tesla causing a huge issue). I think Musk was great at leading SpaceX when he really was focused on it.

Now he is focused on something else and he is using SpaceX good name and finances to make an AI play.

So yes, I have nobody over the old, lets go to Mars Musk, the new 'its all about AI' Musk, not so much.

Isn't this all just the long game for Mars? Humanoid AI robots would be beneficial there too.

And the only way to get AI is to invest 100s of billions yourself? Doing all the investing for a insane datacenter in space thing?

Instead of just saying "anybody that wants to put data-centers in space, please pay us".

SpaceX has been incredibly successful without massive acquisition for a long time. Every product the made was a banger. And now they bought fucking Twitter.

Because even an AI chatbot would do a better job than him?
