SpaceX has a bunch of ulterior motives for its owner.
Loss of a competitor might change its pricing structure, but they want success for reasons that go beyond extracting money.
- elevatedastalt 2y ago"Ulterior motives" is misleading terminology, trying to give a negative color to ambitions that Elon has always made very very explicit—making humans a space-faring civilization and colonizing Mars. You may disagree with how useful these ambitions are, but calling them ulterior is basically outright deception.
- bumby 2y agoI would actually disagree with how genuine those ambitions are. I personally think they are more PR-gloss than actual business plan.
- elevatedastalt 2y agoYou are free to disagree with them. For what it's worth I think they are genuine. But either way they have been very clearly and explicitly communicated, and are anything but "ulterior".
