Is that supposed to be a joke? There is no plausible scenario where SpaceX gets any significant fraction of the air freight market. Even under the most optimistic scenario the costs for suborbital launch are much higher than regular airplanes.

In a few decades there might be a small market for carrying passengers long distances really fast. Initially for the military to insert special ops troops in a crisis, and eventually maybe for wealthy consumers after safety improves.
