Seems like Musk is getting more realistic and maybe even conservative all the time. Glad he made these statements.

Now about the carbon footprint of rockets ...

Would have been great if he called this election for what it is but I wouldn’t want to put my life in danger either.

He tells the truth more than 99 percent of those in silicon valley and that’s a start

I remember reading some articles about that. According to Musk, the carbon footprint from the rocket fuel is a tiny fraction of that done by ordinary airplane travel. Rockets don't fly every day, but airplanes do. So we shouldn't blame rockets for carbon emissions, we should blame jet airplanes.
