At the price of an economy ticket

I am curious how the hell he could possibly get it down to the price of economy. It costs 10K per pound currently to get into space. And you mean to tell me that he can get it down to economy pricing? I am extremely skeptical to say the least.

He can't.

He's talking out his arse to be a visionary and to procure investment, fame, and money, etc.

Smart move.

He's just trying to drum up interest and investors.

His companies will probably go bankrupt in a few years and he'll walk away with billions.

I don't believe he can build a rocket in an hour.

No. It costs $10k per pound to get into orbit. Suborbital is way easier, takes way less energy, and is way cheaper. He's not talking about putting people into orbit. He's talking about lobbing people, at most, halfway around the world and smashing them onto any spot on the planet in under an hour.

Because he'll get the government to subsidize the cost down to an economy ticket price.

Between Tesla and SpaceX, I find Elon Musk to be largely a fraud.

Plus thinking it through even more, they'd have to weigh every passenger very precisely and not allow them to eat or drink after being weighed. And imagine if this fat frick shows up. What the hell are they going to do?

Elon needs to stop taking Ambien. He tweets and emails while "sleepwalking".
