Where to start with this ...
SpaceX has no future, since there aren't enough satellite launch customers to justify 5,000 full-time staff to run it.
Hence their pollution of LEO with thousands of microsatellites.
The worst thing SpaceX ever did from a business standpoint was reusable rockets. When you have limited customers, you need to maximize revenue.
And the sooner that piece of junk ISS is de-orbited, the better. Of course, not much reason for SpaceX to continue staggering along after that.
