SpaceX has a 64% market share in the global commercial rocket launch market for sending satellites, scientific instruments, and other payloads into orbit. In the first six months of 2023, SpaceX handled 21 flights for outside customers, or 64% of the worldwide total. In the first half of 2023, SpaceX handled 88 percent of customer flights from U.S. launch sites.[1]

If success isn't their goal I'd be amazed at what they accomplished if the decided to try for it someday.

That's not analogous to the situation with the brain chips. We're in the testing phases, and the testing phases for SpaceX rockets involves so many unplanned explosions that they've been in multiple investigations.

You were the one who made the comparison.

Yes and it stands. I'm still comparing SpaceX to Neuralink in terms of unethical rushed testing and development, and it still stands. What I'm not referring to is the products that SpaceX ships, YOU were the one who brought that up.
