@isaackuo @cstross @iinavpov I think a reasonably consistent thread in Musk's actions has been "how can I get the hundreds of billion USD required for a Mars expedition shoveled into SpaceX?". Tesla, Starlink, Twitter, Trump are all arguably tools to feed the white-hot furnace of cash burning he calls Starship. Eg. Tesla stock has substantially been buoyed by his statements (eg. promises and sale of FSD) that are either fraudulent or microns away from fraud.
