And don't forget (re payload) that their Moon/Mars plan requires that "Ship" is carrying enough fuel with it to the moon such that it can slow itself down (with no atmospheric resistance to help), land, then take off from the Moon again, fly back to earth, and STILL have enough fuel to slow itself down and land again
Not sure what that earth-side deceleration would feel like to the crew though, going from a supersonic free fall to stationary on the ground in a few seconds (while rotating from horizontal to vertical at the same time)

Aren’t they only using 10% of their current datacentre / ai potential at the moment anyway? Or something like that from a vid I saw a while back. Yet they keep banging on about space data centres being necessary for future expansion.
As time goes on the whole thing doesn’t feel any less scammy.
Then you have below defending the massive energy and resource use of ai saying we need to keep growing it so it can provide the answers to make human life sustainable.

TBH if I was a scam artist trying to bump my stock price I’d say that we’re scrapping crewed flights. Saves the space and equipment needed to keep people alive and you can just say ai is gonna do it

The SpaceX share price is one of the few
objectively funny things around.
Wait till the lockup period for existing holders ends. It'll be HILARIOUS.

There's also a non-zero chance it'll take the whole US economy with it, too, given SpaceX is apparently an """"AI"""" company, and it'll rattle everyone who's invested in the rest of them.
