Won’t somebody please think of the luxury private aviation consumers?

A lot of people on this forum actually have investments in SpaceX, directly or indirectly, and they're interested in this stuff as a signal of the health of the company.

Not everything has to be some little gripefest.

I reckon a lot of people on this forum have poorer health thanks to man-made pollution.

The more money a person has, the greater the chance they spend it in ways that increase environmental harm. (Travel is a big one, and buying large homes, remodeling homes, heating and cooling those homes, well beyond the private sufficiency that would be enough for us if we also supported public luxuries instead of playing Smaug)

Rather than corporate health I'm more concerned with ecosystem health (actual eco-system, as in interconnected living beings, not the word applied to software...), and care much more about investing in the performance of the ecosystems (based on land, water, and air) that sustain life in the region I have this tiny bit of influence on.

Corporations are fictions, a game we're playing. After they go up in smoke, the land will still be here.

Won’t somebody please think of the poor SpaceX shareholders? (Not that the article was framed that way.)

Huh? Having an interest in something is not the same as seeking sympathy.

lol what a complainer you are

Huh? Did you even read the article? Nothing but complaining about price hikes from luxury private jet people.

Again: I reckon this article is posted here not to alert people to the news about their jet Internet price hike, but as a signal into the health of a product/company that are of significant interest across the community.

It seems the words aren't making their way to your brain, so you're on your own to figure it out from here.

Please don't comment on whether someone read an article. "Did you even read the article? It mentions that" can be shortened to "The article mentions that".

Rich people are screwing over the slightly less rich, get out the silver pitchforks.

I don't think spacex is rolling in cash. Their valuation has little bearing on cash reserves until they sell.
