Bezos was able to convince the market to keep it afloat for a decade before turning a profit. Elon had that same magic too. But both Amazon and Tesla operated outside the rules of business for many years before in Amazon’s case monopsony power took over. In that regard I respect Tesla more - they had a visionary product (which they’ve basically given up on).  Previous Message
No one. But then again, how do you monetize a moon base into trillions in revenue?
Maybe if he had a plan to mine the asteroid belt, there's trillions out there. That would be way cool. Humanity really needs to turn the solar system into a train wreck for a few $$$
