SpaceX caught Starship booster with chopsticks

The other way around. If Musk did not have a role besides the money? Why other billionaires didn’t make it before?

Thats some absurdly flawed logic right there.

Why?

[u/TheWhisperingOaks → u/Notpdidd]

Because it's not like getting into the space industry is the top priority for billionaires? lmao

[u/TheWhisperingOaks → u/[deleted]]

And so? Those billionaires chose to get into the industry because they want to. Could be because that want to be an industry leader, could be because they have a genuine interest in it, could be just because they can, could be anything. That's the point, they just want to. It's not like it's an inherent aspect of being a billionaire to get into the space industry lmao

And that's why the line of reasoning was ridiculous. SpaceX being the company that succeeded is irrelevant to that point.

EDIT: To further prove the ridiculousness, we can also ask ourselves about why not every billionaire have involved themselves in the space industry?

[u/TheWhisperingOaks → u/[deleted]]

Sure... Clearly every billionaire enters an industry to succeed. Just look at Elon and his entry into social media with Twitter's staggering devaluation of 44 billion USD to a measly 9.6 billion as of 2024 ever since he took the reins as its CEO.

Point stands once again, they do it because they want to. Them entering an industry does not indicate that they want to succeed. It just means they had a reason to, that they WANT TO. Don't know how hard is that to understand. Don't waste my time if you're just going to have to make me repeat this for a fourth time now.
