> Utter trash. She was spewing out garbage 6 years ago that we would be taking point-to-point rocket transport within a decade. SpaceX has blitzed 2/3 of their public cash to the latest launch which failed 60% of the mission but everyone cheered. Time is ticking to bankruptcy and with it, the wholesale write-off of space missions to the tax payer when support has been increasing.
I think you will find that it was Elon who made that outlandish claim, she merely towed the line in public, as a COO would, knowing full well that such a time-line (often regarded as Elon-time) was entirely absurd and made it clear if you follow her work.
In short, if you think these claims came out of her mouth, you're both uninformed and entirely ignorant to how SpaceX actually operates--Elon may hold the CEO title, and granted himself 'chief engineer' (haha, cosplaying at it's best) but the reality is that it was Gwynne's leadership and key connections and experience within aerospace and auto industry (the two often overlap) that has made SpaceX what it is today.
Bankruptcy? You do realize the war happening in Russia makes Souyuz a no-go forever, along with constant aborts [0], and makes SpaceX the only resupply/crew vehicle, right? Not to mention Starlink, and the Artemis mission(s).
Also, non-IPO SpceX stock go at insane premiums if ever sold by employees (a major part of TC) and company's who hold this stock also trade a high premium just because of this fact.

Talk about being entirely out of touch here, to the point the it's really embarrassing.
