Still sure?

Genius, yes. Ambitious, yes. Good governance, no!

Any evidence of actual investors being upset about this? The only actual quote from the wsj article:

"Founders Fund in a statement said it has been briefed on the relationship between SpaceX and the Boring Co. “and we have no concerns whatsoever."

Why at this valuation do you think it's attractive? $30.5 billion is a hell of a price to pay for a business with only around $2 billion in revenue.

Because you expect the revenue to go up dramatically in the future.

The main reason for that belief, at least for me, is Starlink.

If that is their projected revenue source, I think most of us would agree that SpaceX is over valued

maybe most of HN, but i'm not so sure about the majority of small dreamers on reddit who like investing
