I mean, sure. But why would that matter for their IPO. We're not all leaving the planet on their rockets, and if the people they're trying to sell to aren't on the rockets, they're just going to die anyway and the universe will be perfectly fine without humans just like before humans.

The tech SpaceX is using isn't even close to viable for a mass exodus.

BTW I highly recommend the Ben Elton book 'Stark'. Written in the 90s and set in the 80s, it is wierdly prophetic.
