Betting against Elon Musk's technical abilities has lost money before. He claims SpaceX will eventually launch 30 rockets a day, with reusable rockets becoming as routine as airplanes. The speaker argues that once reusability works, the launch cadence will follow.
Betting against Elon's technical ability has proven to be like the most unprofitable bet you could make. Even if you're right for a year or two, you're eventually wrong. He was talking on a podcast like, "Yeah, we're gonna do 10,000 launches." And the guy was like, "So wait, so that means like you're launching like multiple times a day, obviously, right? Like you're launching 30 launches a day?" And he's like, "Yes." And then they're like, "But you can't even launch one right now." He's like, "Yes." And they're like, So it's gonna be— and he's like, it's like an airport. You know how many times a plane takes off a day? And he's like, we are going to launch that many times in a day. It'll be like airports. It'll be like, you know, we figured out how to make cars reusable, how to make airplanes reusable. We are going to figure out how to make rockets rapidly reusable so you can land, turn it around, launch it again.
