There\u2019s a serious error making the rounds in media, both legacy and social, concerning Elon\u2019s big score last week. It\u2019s to be found largely among lefties, but also among some on the right as well. That\u2019s the contention that the two trillion resulting from Space X\u2019s IPO is somehow destined for Elon\u2019s own pockets. That he can simply pack that two trillion into briefcases (lots of \u2018em) and then take off for Tijuana at his leisure.<\/p>

Au contraire, mon playmates. I doubt anything like that could happen in a corporate setting in any case, and\u00a0historically, it never has, not involving Carnegie, Ford, Rockefeller, or even the infinitely corrupt Big Jim Fisk. No –that money is capital. It is a corporate asset to be used, as similar funds were used by the aforementioned magnates, to invest in a\u00a0company\u2019s future activities and reach. Which is what Elon Musk is going to do with it.<\/p>\n

In fact, he\u2019s going to do more than that, because we\u2019re not talking about the future of one corporation or even one industry, but the future of humanity itself. Musk, as he has made clear, is a visionary, and his vision is unmistakable: to open up the solar system to the human race. That\u2019s what that two trillion is for, and that\u2019s what it\u2019s going to be spent on.<\/p>\n

That money means that Musk can source as much funding as any single country, and more than most. True exploitation of space, apart from model space stations useful for promoting the careers of Democrat politicians, has been hanging fire since 1969, solely because the nation-states refused to pony up for serious space ventures. That is now history. The cash is today in the hands of a man who sees himself as the historical figure who will open the gates to the greater universe. (More on this later.)<\/p>

With that amount of capital, things will start to move. Bases on the moon, a manned mission to Mars, and, echoing the motto of Hapsburgs who opened up the New World: \u201cEtiam Ultra\u201d \u2013 even beyond. (From which, ironically, we derive the symbol for the dollar.) That\u2019s what\u2019s in store for us. That\u2019s what we\u2019re going to see now that a man of foresight and drive is in control rather than a government filled with bureaucrats, committees, and liberals.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s what capitalism is, that\u2019s what capitalism does, and that\u2019s what capitalism is for. So God be with Elon Musk and all who sail with him.\u00a0<\/p>
