message: Morgan Stanley has put out a new investor analysis about the company SpaceX. " 'This technological development has the potential to transform investor expectations around the space industry,' the firm said. In Morgan Stanley’s view, Musk’s company has created a 'double flywheel' of technology with its reusable rockets and Starlink internet satellites." and "talking about space before Starship is like talking about the internet before Google."  Coverage in news from CNBC: Morgan Stanley says SpaceX’s Starship may ‘transform investor expectations’ about space, CNBC News, 19 October 2021.  Might be useful to improve some small parts of the article where investment & valuation is discussed. N2e (talk) 01:31, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Kinda interesting to be honest, many of Elon-related article lack the "meta" aspect, i.e. how would this thing become in the future, and its ultimate goal. CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 13:35, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

text: Indeed, elements about ROI or profits are conspicuously absent for an article for such a large and visible for-profit operation.

message: The infobox lists "Elon Musk Trust" as the owner of SpaceX. That implies he doesn't own that 47.4% of SpaceX personally, but that he's created some sort of trust fund. Do we have any more information about this? The cited reference doesn't provide additional details. Fcrary (talk) 21:31, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

message: The statement is ambiguous. "Orbital rocket", what does that mean? The rocket engines that are reused are not orbital.  The re-entry vehicle that is used is not a first, and the Space Shuttle used reusable Solid Rocket Boosters.  I am going to add <reference needed> GeorgeV73GT (talk) 02:47, 2 July 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: GeorgeV73GT agreed. Clarified to "first vertical take-off and vertical propulsive landing for an orbital rocket booster, first reuse of such booster". CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 10:24, 7 July 2022 (UTC)

text: GeorgeV73GT, thanks for the compliments! And sorry to disappoint you, but I don't grow cacti at home :( Maybe I would someday. CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 14:10, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

message: Using a memo written by a rival company of Space X as a source to describe the workplace culture at Space X seems pretty ridiculous. Especially since one of the articles used to source the information actually cites current and former Blue Origin employees alleging a sexist and unsafe work culture at Blue Origin. Citing current or former employees to describe the workplace culture at Space X would seem more reasonable. WhowinsIwins (talk) 10:46, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
