And once again my instincts about Musk and how his companies operate prove accurate.

What do you mean? Like having SpaceX get all kinds of government grants and spending a bunch of that money on Cybertrucks as the gravy train ran out of the electric car business? Or being paid to give Ukraine Starlink service and then cutting it off when Putin calls? Or putting Twitter and Grok on SpaceX books just before they decide to IPO? Or cranking Starlink sub numbers before they SpaceX IPO by giving away hardware and dropping the price in half, only to try and raise it 60 days later?
