Only at first glance. They are valued at 10B$ and they still only launch less than 10 rockets per year. When they reach 100 or 1000 launches, their value will go up with the same ratio or even more.

This is something WhatsApp can't possibly do, as their market can't grow much more, but space is only starting to.

No, the investors have already anticipated that. Modulo market risk, $10 billion is what SpaceX is expected to be worth.

Sure right now. I was talking more about 10-20 years into the future.
