Placing it near that airport may be the biggest risk Musk has ever taken.

  It's not open yet, there's a chance it will never open. Might even be an investment opportunity: Swoop in and buy the whole mess once the German government decides it has thrown enough money into their bottomless pit.

    The government will likely never do that, it's a prestige project so it will completed unless the entire government collapses.

      > unless the entire government collapses Well, at this point that seems more likely than that airport ever finishing.

    And transform it into rocket launchpad: - fast parts delivery from China on BFR - competition for EU launchers etc. {joke}

    That's not entirely correct. Sure, the passenger terminals are a big mess and it is not yet clear when they will open. However, the cargo terminal has been in operation since 2013 [1].
