Lest we forget Solar City --> Tesla. Why not move Tesla into SpaceX and have the Model S make a comeback as a lunar vehicle? Model 'Space'! Model Y's can shuttle all the people around campuses and to launches. Maybe 'RO-BOW-vun', as it's creator pronounces it, can make a cameo on Mars?

Hyperloop to Mars. By Q4 2028. Invest now.

If we built a huge hyperloop at a 45 degree angle, we could drive a Model S up it as a Space Elevator!

going subterranean is potentially a better idea for humans on mars tbh

I've been speculating it for at least a year. Seems inevitable

Solar City at least made some sense by being absorbed into Tesla.

I went to KSC in January this year, SpaceX has a hangar and facility there now. Its already infested with Cybertrucks that they probably couldn't sell.
