"You don't seem to understand that SpaceX will be worth more than the rest of Earth if we accomplish our goals."
Elon Musk responded to a Twitter user by asserting SpaceX could exceed Earth's total material wealth of $600 trillion if it achieves its goals of space-based compute, orbital energy capture, and planetary colonization. The claim underscores Musk's vision of exponentially collapsing marginal costs in space through reusable rockets, enabling software-like economics for communication, satellites, manufacturing, and compute in orbit.
