I think Tesla is a joke but SpaceX rocks!
I challenge that assertion. Tesla is profitable, and will displace other automakers within the next ten years. The technology is sound, and getting better. Meanwhile, standard gas-powered car manufacturers make their money on a repair and maintenance model, not from the car itself. I once thought as you did, that Tesla cars were no threat to the big car makers but after studying the differences I realize that Tesla is poised to overtake GM and Ford in the near future (ten years or so).
Additionally, Elon Musk trades infrastructure design between all his companies, strengthening each in the process (Tesla, SpaceX, The Boring Company, Neuralink and OpenAI). I would keep an open mind about Tesla and their growth.
“I think Tesla is a joke...”
Yeah, I wish I owned a couple thousand shares of that joke.
Especially their boosters landing back on the ground to be reused. Here’s a 30 second video of a recent Starlink launch that had two Falcon Heavy boosters. They land almost simultaneously.
