"It really seems like anyone with some renders and a white paper written by someone being gassed up by an overly agreeable AI can get VC funding these days."
So he said that the supply of a particular natural gas turbine part was constrained through 2030. Therefore, obviously, the simplest fix is to have thousands of starship launches with ISS-sized payloads and all the attendant crap.
Musk definitely has zero understanding of Kessler Syndrome; one of many drops in a bucket of evidence that he’s not the genius his PR team wants us to think he is.
At this point it’s also well documented that Musk essentially failed his way upward because of his family’s wealth.
Literally anyone with a normally functioning brain and the massive headstart Muskrat got could do everything he’s done and more, and probably much better.
Musk is a societal terrorist who is currently bent on destroying anything on his path to personal gain.
He should be erased, plain and simple. He could have been batman, but he chose to be a piece of garbage instead.
He’s stupid, but in this instance I think he’s just bullshitting for spacex’s sake. Even he is capable of putting together the fact that the costs required to build (not to mention service) an orbital data center far outweigh the costs of swapping out the genset for the same exact solar panels you would have otherwise put on the rocket. Maybe you need more panels to make up for atmospheric transmission and the day/night cycle but he (or let’s be real, grok) has ready access to the cost of a single starship launch and a calculator.
My favorite one was Musk gave.

It’s kinda insane how far you can get in life with generational wealth.
No skill, all luck, eh?
You’d need self discipline to be Batman.
Not to mention physical courage.
