Everything I've read is that spacex is trying to make humanity multi-planetary. That's not obviously profitable.

- TeMPOraL 5y agoTo sustain humanity as multiplanetary, we'll need to bootstrap a whole new economy - possibly two (the new location and in-space). There's a huge potential to make money in the process.
- postingawayonhn 5y agoRight now they sell cargo launches, crew launches to LEO, Starlink subscriptions, and receive development grants/funding from NASA and the US military. In the very long-term SpaceX will likely get to Mars and will get to make a claim for a significant amount of real estate and natural resources. Along the way I'm sure they will come up with many more revenue streams.
