Oh, I didn't know companies had to be profitable from day one, I'm sorry. Maybe you should apply for a position of Musk's business development advisor, clearly you know business side of things better than he does. And Tesla is about a month and a half away from unveiling its "non-rich" people car, and they used Model S revenues to corner the market on lithium ion batteries in the meanwhile. Space X is the only US company that can currently deliver shit to ISS. Soon they will also be the only US company that can deliver people to ISS, and the only company in the world to use a reusable first stage. If that's not an achievement in your book, then I'm not sure what a real achievement would look like to you.
