I hope Elon Musk zips his tip once a week for the rest of his stupid life, but human progress as expressed by the exploration of space is so much bigger than my personal, perfectly valid feelings.

This is a scary idea for me.
The rich people right now only want to put things in space because they can get government contracts to pay them to put things in space.
But exploration right now isn't profitable. No rich person wants to build a Hubble or WFIRST to discover things. But if some one like Bezos decides he just wants to blow a few Billion on a satellite and try to discover aliens and keep their secrets for himself or sell that information....that's where i get iffy

obviously that's not happening soon, on that scale, but its scale-able. Maybe its not aliens but maybe its certain information that he can gather and make money off. What it takes for life on other planets, what the dark matter/energy is made of, finding certain galaxies etc
