So as a summery investing in spaceX means

  • No intention of a short or long term investment
  • realistically no control over company choices regardless of share type.

The article is pretty accurate: if you buy in you are only there for the ride. Meaning hopefully you are there hoping he actually can produce what he claims he wants to do.

Name one single vision of Musk that he brought to fruition.

And don't say Starlink or Tesla, those had no input from him.

The US government is throwing tax payer money at him so "the ride" is pretty sweet from where he's sitting.
