Why I put $10 million into SpaceX. Not because I see it as risky. I see it as a hedge. In a world changing this fast, very few companies will actually have terminal value in twenty years. SpaceX is one of the only ones I can name with certainty. Most companies are built around trends. SpaceX is built around a mission that sounds impossible until you watch them make it real. The best builders always sound insane before they become obvious. What matters most right now is that the richest person on earth is finally an engineer, not a ruler or a financier. Someone taking real personal risk to solve problems at a planetary scale. If I am betting on what still matters in twenty years, I want to be aligned with the people building the impossible.
