ELON MUSK: "It is certainly hard to believe that little company that started in a warehouse in El Segundo is now going public. It was the largest IPO ever, and let me tell you, if people had told me this was gonna happen, I was like, man, you must be smoking some really good crack, because I think this company is gonna fail. I gave SpaceX less than a 10% chance of succeeding at all. To be clear, in fact, I told people this. I said, look, we’re probably going to fail, but you know, should give it a try, because if we don’t, if there’s not a new company that enters space, we will never be a truly space-bearing civilization."

@cb_doge SpaceX is proof that impossible is often just unattempted. 🌎➡️🚀
This is "Return to Space" Elon.
Watch that documentary on Netflix. Shows you the part of him that makes one grateful he's on the US side. Ofc there are parts of Elon that make me cringe hard. Humans are made of parts per Jung. He probably overshares all of his but that's the package.
