>>1420377640 Starlink satellites lost is an $8M loss to SpaceX. That's how cheap Starlink sats are. While $8M is no joke to you and I, for a company that has been blowing up Starship prototypes which likely cost 2-3x that, its not all that much and they could raise that back in like 30 seconds of opening funding rounds--cause everyone wants to own a piece of a company that when it goes public in 15-20 years, will be worth upwards of 10-25 trillion dollars.
Tesla at ~1Tn is ~900/share. 10Tn market cap would mean 9k/share and 25Tn (theoretical) would mean like 20k/share. So if you owned (through rich man's funding round into SpaceX) ~10,000 shares of SpaceX over the many years of investing, you'd have an asset value of $200M.

It's all but guaranteed that Elon has a similar structure with SpaceX. Let's do a nice even 100 million shares for SpaceX and apply the theoretical 2035 evaluation of $10Tn company worth @ $9,000/share. That means, the day SpaceX goes public, Elon's net worth will increase by $900Bn. If you did a 1:1 mapping of Tesla to SpaceX and said he has 175 million instead, then his net worth will increase by $1.575Tn.
He's set to become the world's first trillionaire, eclipsing Jeff Who by a whole magnitude order; and I bet when he dies, he'll have a will that says 90% of all asset values are to be redirected for the sustainability of Tesla's global renewable energy and FSD/battery/bot dominance coupled with Mars' continued growth into the future haven of civilization.
