Where Musk and Altman See Eye to Eye

Elon Musk and Sam Altman don’t often see eye to eye, as they made clear in their recent legal dispute . But when it comes to making outlandish projections about future growth, the two men seem to share a common philosophy. As we reported earlier on Thursday, SpaceX’s lead bank on its upcoming IPO, Goldman Sachs, has told investors it expects SpaceX’s revenue to hit $474 billion by 2030, from $18.7 billion last year. That’s even more ambitious than OpenAI’s projection—which we reported in February—that its revenue will grow to $284 billion by 2030 from $13 billion in 2025. Both companies also expect to burn massive amounts of cash in the same period, although SpaceX outdoes OpenAI on that count as well.
