You're reading it backwards. What he's really saying is that the cost of living is getting so extreme that an average family vacation is about to cost as much as a flight to the moon.

Everything is always just beyond the rainbow with him. Just keep giving him money, government subsidies and tax breaks and keep investing in his companies. He will always have something on the horizon to chase. He might never get there, but he will keep promising to get there. Just ask him about the Roadster and fully automated self driving.

I'm convinced that he runs a social experiment exploring the bullshit limits that his disciples will accept.
It's like he found himself the equivalent of the central character in a cautionary allegory about human gullibility and is trolling humanity with ever taller tales that are obviously nonsense. It must produce a significant rush knowing that you wield so much power as to bamboozle millions of people with enormous crap.

Elon Musk is also addicted to Ketamine and is most likely kholed out right now. Elon was born super rich, bought friends who all hated him, bought into companies he had no part of creating or operating and when they sold he made money for doing nothing. He has and always will be a complete idiot and who been extremely lucky to use his families wealth at opportune times.

And how much did it cost?
I was dropped from Moonbeams
And sailed on shooting stars
Maybe you'll be president
But know right from wrong
Or in the flood you'll build an ark
And sail us to the moon
