Also the fact that two of the names in the headline are foreign owned. (North Korea is an autark's wet dream.)

Also the fact that they're not going to invest $500B, and this is mostly a puff piece.

As Elon said, they don't the money.

Talk is cheap.

$500B is not.

$500B may be a lot, but at the national level it's not that much if you spread over a few years. Even now, it's "only" 1 week worth of US GDP. It depends how much they expect to get back.

This isn't national funding.

$500B is a lot - no matter how you slice it.

It's a lot easier to talk pie in the sky than to actually get $500B to spend.
