Critics argue that traditional aerospace companies still hold significant advantages in areas such as government contracts and legacy expertise. They contend that while SpaceX is innovative, it lacks the robust infrastructure needed for sustained long-term operations without support from established players.

SpaceX's rapid growth could lead to overextension and technical failures.

Traditional aerospace companies have vested interests in maintaining their market dominance.

The future will see increased competition from other startups eager to replicate SpaceX’s success. This could lead to a fragmented market with multiple players vying for dominance, potentially destabilizing the industry further.

Human tribalism will likely split along lines of innovation versus tradition. Supporters will hail SpaceX as a beacon of progress, while detractors will warn of the risks and instability brought by such rapid change.
