In 60 days or so, we’ll face an election we can’t successfully win without a landslide. Any low-percentage win and they’ll do what we know they already know exactly how to do, and more. We’ve all seen it happen. So we need that landslide victory. We all must vote.

Budgets are intentionally unrealistic on the low side to get projects approved in the first place. Sales targets are intentionally unrealistic on the high side to get projects approved in the first place. This guarantees an unhealthy ecosystem. It's bogus numbers all the way down.

Also if anyone wonders if SpaceX revenue growth will make the difference: well MSFT has managed to double revenue every ~5 years for THIRTY YEARS to get to this position. So doubling six times. And mostly with a relatively capital light model? Good luck matching that!
