It's Meta, lol. They wasted 80 billion $ on Zuck's fever dream called Metaverse.

It's amusing that their grand dream was basically a clone of Roblox, just with better VR tech and far more advanced graphics. But thing is, kids playing Roblox absolutely do not care about graphics.

		Well, don’t care about graphics yet. Unclear what will happen once those gamers hit 20, 30 years old.

Musk initially started his rocket company by going to Russia and trying to buy Russian rockets. The Russians spat on his shoe.

The rest is history.

		That at least was a reasonable idea. The Russians had a lot of old Soviet era ICBMs they had no need for anymore (plus, IIRC an agreement with the US to disassemble them), so using their engines as a cheap powerplant until SpaceX nailed reusability made sense. That failed and SpaceX was then forced to develop its own brand new engines.
