SpaceX needed NASA money.

Where does Altmann get $7 trillion dollars

If they pay 7 trillion dollars, they certainly won't make a profit for a long time.

He was trying the arabs. It didn't seem to work though.

Again, that it sounds ridiculous rooted in the conventional reality of today, doesn’t necessarily mean he’s wrong in his vision.

Again, the Russians laughed at Musk. The legacy space companies didn’t produce reusable boosters when they clearly could’ve, and people laughed at the idea until it was working. Etc.

(I’m not sure what relevance the NASA comment has; of course small underfunded startups need money to realise their goals? SpaceX needed NASA’s money to develop various projects faster, and NASA needed SpaceX to a) reduce launch costs and b) reduce their reliance on Russia for human launches.)

NASA paid so SpaceX could follow it's vision.

Who will by pay $7 billions so Altman can follow his?

SpaceX costs were much lower and there goal was to become cheaper.

OpenAI will cost more even with all the chips Altman wants. Those chips need energy.

Nuclear power will finally make sense.

Sam Altman - savior of humanity.
