- nitrogen 6y agoI don't pay that much attention, but I get the impression that the established parts of SpaceX are run by Gwynne Shotwell, and Musk focuses on new tech.

- m0zg 6y agoFrom what I've heard from SpaceX employees, Musk is extremely committed to SpaceX in general, and to putting people on the surface of Mars in particular. It's most definitely not a joke for him and I don't see him "bugging out" of something that to a large extent gives his life a higher purpose.
