His company is well on its way to becoming a major player in the international launch market, and unlike all the other space mad billionaires out there, he has actually built a reusable booster system. I am sure that his BFR will, when it finally exits from the prototype stage, be a real rocket that can lift real cargoes into orbit and then land for re-use. Even if it never actually gets used to send people to Mars, he has accomplished something vitally important to all future space endeavours -- he's created a real, working, reusable first stage booster, and looks to be on the way to building another, much larger one. Thereby kicking all the other makers of boosters squarely in the ass. Launch costs are going down, which means space exploration is going to become far more affordable, thanks to his madness.
