Musk & Jurvetson are on record multiple times of SpaceX's profitability and how the aerospace industry is uniquely structured that way.

As an example watch any 10 minutes of this interview with Steve Jurvetson of DFJ.

I remember reading that Jurvetson read poetry and philosophy books instead of business books.

Ever since Steve Jurvetson mentioned these guys, I have been super excited to see what is going to happen in full earth imagery.

Steve Jurvetson wants to disband the TSA.

They have even raised over $85 million from these Investors:Saama Capital, Draper Fisher Jurvetson (DFJ), SAP Ventures, Canaan Partners, Sequoia Capital.

And here's the source quote: "Jurvetson said Uber CEO Travis Kalanick told him that if Tesla cars are autonomous by 2020, Kalanick wants to buy all 500,000 that are expected to be produced."

While I applaud the forward thinking from people like Steve Jurvetson, statements like " Planes are mostly already flown on autopilot already " would be strongly disagreed with any pilot you ask.

They join existing investors Founders Fund, Draper Fisher Jurvetson, Valor Equity Partners and Capricorn.

I usually agree with most of Steve Jurvetson's writings, but I've got a few doubts about this one.

Of this, private equity provided about $200M, with Musk investing approximately $100M and other investors having put in about $100M (Founders Fund, Draper Fisher Jurvetson,...).
