Get de-facto monopoly on American space launches and I don't think they need to be anything else.

Payload into space is a very limited business.

This doesn't make Space-X such a high valued company at all.

And while Space-X is doing its thing, the rest of the world started to move too (china). So first mover advantage is disappearing.

    Today, sure. In the future, very unlikely. US military and alike are also unlikely to start to rely on China to ship stuff to space.

    • We already send up a ton of satelites etc.

      So what will reasonable be the payload we send up which makes Space-X a Trillion dollar company?

      It will not be Datacenters for at least 50 or 100 years more.
