Corporations cannot carry the risk involved. Because else it would be similar to the medicine industry, but there is no large market to sell to.
We're going to Mars is not something you can sell in a boardroom, because why? What is the ROI?
What I'm saying is musk wants to divert all of the government funding from NASA to spacex. ROI is all the funding from the government, every year for decades. It's not a sell a product and profit model in the regular sense. And this way musk can personally take a cut of all that funding.
He doesn't even need to take a cut. If more money is regularly flowing to SpaceX, the value of the company goes up, which means more money for Musk.
