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.

It’s probably more stable as it caters to larger established entities like governments, large businesses, etc. Although he’s simultaneously undermining the US government so if there’s no taxes to pay for his contracts or agencies who need the function of anything modern because they’re so hobbled… Not entirely sure what the end game is here. So far he has mostly protected his interests in terms of government attacks I’d say, at least in the US. Outside the US I doubt any state would take him seriously other than maybe providing one time services like satellite delivery for less essential infrastructure if it’s competitive.
