If there's one thing the great deceiver Elon Musk knows about, it's highly creative, fantasy accounting. And, it's a great way to sell products. So, while spending 2 billion dollars a year to launch two Starships a year, he is claiming actual "launch costs" are mere millions. That's a discrepancy of three orders of magnitude! So, where on earth is he getting his figures from? Well, all he's counting is the fuel costs, and the immediate ground crew costs on the day of the launch. No preparation, refurbishment, development or maintenance costs, at all. So, basically, nothing!

So, why do so many people believe him? Well, I guess people have to believe in something, don't they? That's why they say his falcon rockets are reusable, when they're not. They're actually just partially salvageable, not fully reusable, like your car, for example. They have to be massively restructured and refurbished, every time they're supposedly "reused". Actually, it costs a full 2/3 as much to "reuse" the falcon rockets as to build them from scratch. That's a good savings, of course, but, hardly spectacular.

However, with so much money riding on Elon Musk's total technological incompetence, and systematic deception, there are an awful lot of people, investors in Tesla, for example, who don't want to believe that his inventions actually do not work, at all. Or, cost a thousand times more than he says they do!

Is Elon Musk "too big to fail"? Well, probably not. And, it may be in the U.S.' best interests to recognize that fact, sooner rather than later. Rather than have the entire nation collapse, along with Elon Musk, and his drug-induced fantasies of "technological genius".
