    The billionaires are now richer than many nation states.

    I guess the next development is that they will start to go to war against each other over commercial advantage.

    Guess who will be in the front line as part of the Great Amazon-SpaceX War?

    Not Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk.

      I, for one, welcome the possibility of corporate gun battles to spice up my morning commute.

        Commute? Don’t worry, you’ll get a cramped apartment in a company town right next to your work. The walls stopping you from leaving will be for your protection

          No way the gas companies will allow that. The compound will be a reasonable 25 minute drive from the workplace, with convenient stops along the way for goods and services.

        Not sure if you got my suggestion.

        You won’t be commuting, you will be dodging killer drones with Burger King logos.
