    All they have to do is to start putting ads on space and none of us will be able to do anything about it because we are a bunch of peasants.

      Just so you know: the valuation of SpaceX has nothing to do with the space side of the company. If you look at their projected revenue, the rockets etc… are a footnote. but SpaceX acquired XAI, and literally all of this projected growth is SpaceX becoming the leading AI company in the next decade.

      (and i wish i was joking, but i see everybody here wondering how a space company could possible grow that much, or be expected to. And the answer obviously is it can’t, and noone expects it to. But an AI company in this AI bubble, that people believe…)

        Remember, Musk also proposes a combination. That AI will, for whatever stupid ass reason, become predominantly space based and that they would be having hundreds of Starship launches a month…

        I wonder the opposite: when the ai bubble pops, will it take spacex with it?
