This is so weird, did he miscalculate how intense the backlash would be? or he truly doesn't care?

He doesn’t care. Spacex is more important for him, personally. He has a larger stake (percentage wise) in spacex.

Also, Tesla just jumped bc Musk said that there’s going to be full sell driving in china…. Next year…

We’re back to 2017-era strategies but in china this time.

Isn't the potential revenue of spacex way lower? That market is quite a bit smaller than cars, and will be for the foreseeable future.

The cynic says that the US government is the main buyer of launch capacity and pays top dollar and if a launch provider had an 'in' with the government then it could be very lucrative...?

Especially when the competition dies off leaving spacex the only one standing.
