ELON MUSK GAVE SPACEX LESS THAN A 10 PERCENT CHANCE OF SUCCEEDING
Not a critic, not a journalist, the guy who founded it, he said he thought the company was going to fail, and told people exactly that
He started it anyway, because if nobody new enters space, we never become a space-bearing civilization
Most people wait for 90 percent certainty before they even try, he started a rocket company at 10 and it just became the largest IPO ever
Would you put everything into something you believed would probably fail
More than a dozen flight tests and years of development, with countless hours worked by SpaceX engineers and technicians, all come down to this: the first orbital Starship launch carrying advanced Starlink satellites bound for space.

HOLY SHIT, THIS GUY'S COMPANY HAD $93 BILLION IN ASSETS AND HE SAYS HE HAS NOTHING LEFT
Sam Bankman-Fried was asked if he has any money left, he said basically no
Then he said the company he used to own would have about 15 billion in liabilities and about 93 billion in assets today
His claim is that there was enough to pay everybody back with plenty of interest left over, and that instead the assets got siphoned off in bankruptcy
He called it the biggest regret of his life
That is his version, he is still a convicted fraudster, but the numbers he gave are wild
Who do you believe here, him or the bankruptcy process
Elon Musk was asked if he would board his own rocket with a 10 to 20 percent chance of it blowing up and killing him
He said yes, without blinking
Then he said the destination of the universe is terrible, so the only thing that matters is the journey
That is the mindset behind every company he built
