That’s not the point. My point was primarily that there is a need for competition to Tesla.
It’d be not a good place to end up being hostage to Musk (or Trump) whims and depend on them to keep lights on for Starlink or ability to put satellites into an orbit.
And having a clear separation of government is also important.
It should be possible to outcompete X now. The opportunity is there, a lot of people who work there would prefer to avoid supporting Trump. And while X outcompeted NASA (for a motivated Silicon Valley company it’s not that difficult to outcompete a government agency, while draining best people from it), now X itself is becoming a perverted place. So there should be some opportunity there.
