Wait what? It’s not good leadership because they’re burning lots of cash? How are those two related? That’s only makes sense in a world where SpaceX stockholders have mandated SpaceX operate at a profit. I don’t think that’s what’s happening—investors know they’re putting money into a highly risky R&D project that could take years to pay off, if ever. So far they’ve gotten Falcon, Starlink, and Starship out of the deal. I’d say it takes pretty good leadership to achieve those results. Meanwhile NASA’s Artemus is expected to cost $93b and so far they’ve only had one launch.
