It's amazing how much "galaxy brain 4d chess" these musk huffers play with themselves to justify the stupidity.

"Uh, no, you don't see the brilliance! He's advocating for deorbiting the ISS while calling astronauts retarded to trick people into keeping the ISS up and running!"

SMDH.

You don't have to justify his every thought. The simplest answer is typically the right one.

So the simplest answer is that he is giving up immediate recurring transport revenue to the existing station for a chance at launch contracts for a future station that may or may not be built?

Quite the galaxy brained idea indeed. Keep in mind however that the galaxy is mostly vacuum.
