So you think it's an invalid argument because of where that person works? Seriously, who are you to judge how others spend their lives?

Do you go around telling construction workers that their life is meaningless and they should instead be building rockets to carry you to another planet?

You're still saying their comment is a non-sequitur... because why? they work for Google? because you don't like it?

Because it is a non sequitur. It fails to engage the point of the argument.

The point is that SpaceX is a making a potential contribution to humanity's future, which makes it a more meaningful way to spend your working years than an advertising company.

The fact that an advertising company thought that SpaceX was a good investment has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with this argument. It completely misses the point.
