    Anyone remember when he spent all his time talking about colonising mars? That was his big thing and the future. Whatever happened to that?

    Then spacex got government funding. Now AI is the big thing.

    I’ve still yet to see any of his great visions he’s actually delivered on.

        On the other hand, Starship is not fast enough, if I recall correctly, SpaceX claimed to Nasa that they’d be landing on the moon by now
