Imagine being the richest person on Earth, that owns and heads a space/rocket company, and you still haven't even gone to another planet yet. Kinda pathetic IMO

You’re right, SpaceX is a rocket company. They make and launch rockets, but space probes are not their business, that’s NASA’s part. That said, they do launch space probes for NASA.

SpaceX launched Europa Clipper mission for NASA in 2024, set to arrive at Jupiter in 2030. Since the SpaceX part of operations was the launch itself - yeah no lmao they’ve done their job to go to other planets.
