But don’t be deceived that Musk is a capitalist.
...
Almost his entire net worth is invested in his companies. He’s been CEO of four companies that he either started or help found. I’d say he’s more capitalist than most.
He also seems to be good at getting government money.
Which is of course a good part of growing a company these days.
Unfortunately.
He also is a skilled self-promoter.
Take for example sending his car on a journey out of the solar system.
He could have as easily opened a contest to college students to design and build a payload for the test.
I think that would be a more useful use of the test launch.
