It’s sad that the two options are SpaceX and Boeing. Neither Musk nor Boeing inspire confidence in safety. NASA should have just developed their own crewed capsule.
Comment on NASA says astronauts stuck in space will not return on Boeing capsule, will wait for SpaceX craft

With any luck he’ll have to sell shares to keep Twitter afloat.

Not sure how that would work since SpaceX is a private company. Pretty sure he would have to take SpaceX public first.
He will have to sell a rocket-full of Tesla stock though.

Crew Dragon has been solely responsible for the US side of ISS rotations for four years, without incident. 8 successful missions, not counting the privately funded trips. Cargo Dragon has been doing resupply missions since 2012.

Cool story… How many trips did that billionaire submarine go on before it collapsed?

SpaceX is a legitimate company doing legitimate contracts for the government though.
