The SpaceX IPO was hilariously ridiculous. They were saying that in a few years they’ll be launching Starships every few hours. Meanwhile they haven’t even delivered payload to orbit with them yet… (As they still don’t trust it enough I guess)

It’s blatantly obvious lying to investors, but I’m sure they’ll make up some excuse or pretend they never said that by the time it’s 2030 and they’re not launching Starships every few hours
