Nah, you're not jaded enough yet, it'll be used to facilitate a wealth transfer. Huge wealth management firms will tie up venture capital in financing SpaceX and BO and smaller space construction firms in a boondoggle and when it fails to materialize a profit they will pocket the proceeds and the losses will be covered by taxes and retirement accounts.

They do this again and again. It's the kleptocracy playbook, they're just getting bigger and bolder and more in your face with it.
