SpaceX serves a large market that was underserved, via Starlink, and via satellite launches.

There's nothing comparably easy (for some values of "easy") to monetize underwater, except in shallow places like the continental shelves, and these areas are already being heavily developed (oil, wind).

There are many, many wonders deep underwater, but they are mostly not commercially interesting, alas.

What about deep sea mining ? What about those poly metallic nodules there ?

We definitively have stuff to fuck up over there. Those ecosystem that do not know noise or light need disruption and market capitalization

Only when we have reached the far reaches of this planet, life as it used to be will cease to exist. Some may argue that it's the natural course of the universe but others would argue that a paradise should be left untouched when found, as it may be the only one.
