China is catching up there too.
Anyway, where's the revenue from space going to come from? Obviously not data centres now that Deepseek is commoditising inference.
The telecom business? Amazon is catching up there and Europe/the rest of the world is racing to build capabilities to not be dependent on Musk.
China isn’t even close to where SpaceX was 10 years ago.
They may be catching up, but not anytime soon.
