Well, they wouldn't exactly put it that way in the press release.

An alternate end-game would be ULA stringing together a few contract wins, pushing SpaceX to the brink, and then ol' Elon gets a nice offer from Boeing and Lockheed...

Elon plays the long game, and I don't think Boeing and Lockheed have any interest in going to Mars. He wouldn't sell from a moral standpoint.

I would be very surprised if Elon sells space X in the next ten years. Based on the book by ashlee at least.

Having read the exact same book I simply can't agree more. He has no reason to make a profitable company public seeing how much of a mess it has made things wtih tesla.
