How will they make money? From governments? With Elon's beliefs, few will be able to afford the vacation trips to space, except a few and they can already do this if they wanted, but haven't in droves.
If anything this just proves that the Overview Effect (traveling to space changes you) is just BS, Bezos and the others never changed.

- johneth 6mo ago> Providing Internet to the entire world that's faster than fiber. Bullshit. You're not going to be faster than fiber from orbit, with congested bandwidth. > Providing space launch capability that's 1/10th what NASA charges. NASA isn't in the commercial launch space. > Providing quite good AI at 100 tokens/sec. It's the weakest of the slop machines.
- danny_codes 6mo agoYeah.. they aren’t going to provide internet to the world faster than fiber. There are a few use-cases that make sense. Almost everyone who has money already has faster internet than LEO internet can provide. And yet, who will use it? You need something to put on the rocket. Seems the vast majority of stuff they’re putting on rockets is their own assets. What is groks market share? 1%?
