At this point, one has to wonder what Musk will do next.

Tesla is likely beyond saving, Trump is getting tired of him and xAI is a money sink. Adding X to his cash-burning AI company will do good for neither.

So here is my genius plan for Musk’s rescue: If he somehow manages to at least bring one Starship to orbit and back in more or less ok condition, found a SPAC with the promise of taking SpaceX public. Promise something utterly moronic, something really stupid like sending his useless humanoid robots to mars to prepare for “colonization”. Assure investors it will be happening “in two years”, maybe sending the first ship “by the end of next year”.

Even in the current climate he would probably still be able to fleece investors for a a hundred billions or more.

The very existence of SPACs is a joke, it’s high time the greatest con man of all time put them to use.
