SpaceX — Elon Musk’s money-losing rocket start-up that has soared into the orbit of all of those tech juggernauts with a fleet of fantastical plans instead of ubiquitous products. With a more than $2.4 trillion valuation as of Thursday, SpaceX is the world’s sixth-most-valuable company.
Its market value is based on promises of putting data centers in space and establishing a colony of a million people on Mars, a premise so far-fetched that three experts reached by The Washington Post to break down the factors driving SpaceX’s valuation declined to ascribe any impact to it, despite the fact that Musk’s compensation is tied to SpaceX achieving that goal.
“[If] anyone else said it, they would probably have him institutionalized,” said Greg Martin, managing director of private markets at the firm Rainmaker Securities.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
