Depreciation isn't the only thing that matters. R&D, manufacturing, maintenance, fuel, launch, support staff, and I'm sure there are countless others.

I'm not saying they aren't profitable. I don't know, but it's definitely not a given.

They did report FCF before xai and also invested at least $1B before they merged xai

  • Given that it's one Musk company giving a mountain of money to another, and the only numbers floating around regarding SpaceX seem like marketing fluff, I don't think any meaningful conclusions can be reached until we get some real numbers giving a full look at the finances.

    • We have real numbers for both the launch and Internet business.

      We know how much was spent by Xai too.

      You can wait for Godot if you wish.
