“The mission of SpaceX remains the same: extend consciousness and life as we know it to the stars."

Well the nearest star is over 4 light years away. Even if you got get there today your happy news would reach earth in 2030 and our congratulations would come back to you in 2034.

Extended consciousness?

Given his track record of promises and "repromises," I'd say he's still on course, the very same.

This is just the first step eventually we will be just like the Culture novels that Elon skimmed through the Wikipedia summaries of.

We are slightly delayed on the first Mars trips timelines that were supposed to have happened already but the overall timeline of being all over the universe at some point in the future is still perfectly on track.

This is an economic opportunity in the quintillions you would be stupid not to give Elon billions to be a part owner. Keep in mind like in all of his businesses no one else could ever do this, there is 0 competition only what his companies do matter and if you don't believe that GFY
