You mean Musk selling his share and putting it into SpaceX?

SpaceX laid off 10% this year and their recent attempt to raise money didn't go well.

To be fair, they tried to raise money mostly to fund BFR development, which is a questionable economic investment for people expecting a decent ROI (although it's a fantastic overall future investment for humanity as a whole). If they tried to raise money specifically for micro satellite internet, on the other hand, I think investors would be more favorable.

Micro satellite internet isn't really viable without BFR though.
