    You are right on why he bought it. But he then got funding from outsiders who would benefit from it’s transition away from effective gathering and communicating space

      Yeah. I think MUSK bought it because it sounded cool and he got suckered into it. I think he got the funding for it because the people who funded him (like the Saudis) saw an opportunity to get an easy mark to break the system for them.
