I've honestly wondered whether or not he's going to end up as this generation's Howard Hughes. Makes fortune in other industry, parlays that into becoming a manufacturing/aerospace titan, slowly goes insane. He's 2 or 2.5 for 3 depending on how you count.

Started thinking that years ago ... and have always made the link, in my mind, between the Starship and the Spruce Goose ...

  To be fair, Starship has gotten further than the Spruce Goose ever did.

    I kind of agree - but relatively speaking they're at about the same place right now.

  Maybe robotaxis will be the Spruce Goose.

  Starlink (v2 sats in particular) alone justifies Starship. Include HLS and potential Mars stuff and the comparison does not make sense. Don't listen to people who hate on SpaceX because of Musk. If you want to hate on him pick any AI-related thing, much easier target.
