All essential parts, but I guess the really key part that makes this okay is #4 - 'make the venture possible'. I don't buy in at those PEs, but I clearly should have as the track record has shown has shown. The future remains uncertain, his goals are still incredible to the point of being uncredible, and his delivery on those goals has been real and incredible. What a conundrum, no wonder people are talking about it so much. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ In the meantime we have reusable space rockets and actual progress on a process of transformation away from ICEs.

Yes, I have a similarly mixed view of Musk. On the one hand, my god what they are doing at SpaceX, Starlink, (and even some parts of) Tesla are incredible! And I suppose without Musk playing carnival barker, these things aren't possible. On the other hand... the approach is so slimy and really should not be celebrated the way it is. It's a similar feeling with Martin Shkreli. He did some fraud, but he also gave all the money back to investors and started the ongoing conversation about Rx pricing.
