Not that I particularly support Musk in any way or the things they stand for, it's a great goddamn shame that they dropped the project. Even if the company in itself would not be monetarily as good as they would've liked, there's still basically an infinite amount of _value_ that they can still create.

But alas, that is not what the for profit public companies have a mandate to do.

If the maths come to about ±0 then there would be tons of goodwill to be gained by spinning up the robo-taxi project as a non-profit org.
