This. All of Xai is propped up by SpaceX, the IPO was not for a rocket company but a shitty """artificial intelligence""" scam with a working rocket company bolted on.

I'll be happy when China buys out Starbase :)

Wait until after the Lockup period, that's when all the SpaceX employees will start selling.

>if

<when (I’m predicting cascading engine failure and a fall back to pad)
>>
starship likely needs all engines lit to get off the pad, not like if one or two goes out mid-ascent it can carry on nominally because it's lighter at that point. if four engines failed to light that would abort the launch sequence immediately because it wouldn't even make it off the pad. will be interesting to hear what happened there.

In Elon's defence, you need a lot of upmass to build pretty much every elevator scheme. SS/Superheavy and a bit of space industry would make that a lot easier.
