Rich Japanese guy paid SpaceX to take a bunch of "artists" on a fly-by trip of the Moon to inspire creativity and hippy shit like that. The timeline for the flight kept getting pushed back so the rich guy started shit talking in public, which made Musk come out and say the contract offered no guarantees of a certain date and the trip would happen when it happened. Rich hippy lover is now mad and rage quit, probably will sue SpaceX for his money back.

>Giving Musk money
Why would you even send money without a contractually stipulated flight date? Preferably with penalties for delays.

Because he wanted to be the first to do it. If Starship starts selling tickets for Lunar flyby trips, his attention whoring "artist inspiration" looks as dumb as booking a Delta flight for a bunch of hippies and calling it inspirational.

It was already that dumb. Imagine what a pretentious hippy faggot you have to be to think that paying for yourself and a gaggle of DeviantArt cunts that look like the cast of a rejected CW pilot to fly around the Moon is going to inspire global peace and creativity.

It's on the same level of stupid as Lennon and Yoko trying to end the Vietnam War by sitting in a bed ordering room service for a week.

Inspiration and awareness are just excuses attention whores use to attention whore. The Japanese guy who came up with the idea made his billions in fashion, which is an attention whoring field by definition.

I can't find any references to him paying anything but there are many that state that he invested in SpaceX, so not exactly the same thing but since SpaceX isn't a publicly traded company, he can't just sell his shares on the open market. He might just want people to stop asking him about it so he cancelled it. When Starship is closer to being ready for that kind of trip, he can start again.

Yusaku Maezawa was worth around $3.5 billion when he first proposed doing this with a Dragon capsule. He invested $400 million into SpaceX, much of which was spent on building at Boca Chica. At some point the mission was switched from Dragon to Starship and greatly enlarged. Not sure if that was because SpaceX didn't want to further develop Dragon into a lunar capable ship or Maezawa saw Starship and thought it would be better since it is to be much larger.
His net worth is down to somewhere in the $1.0 to $1.5 billion range, so $400 million is now a considerable amount of money. Doubt there will be a "refund" as it appears he invested in SpaceX rather than purchased tickets for a Moon ride. But maybe there's a contract somewhere that says something different.

Yes, there's no shortage of people who would love the chance to invest in SpaceX. As a private company, I don't know what restrictions there are on selling shares and how the two sides would come to a price.

It depends on the company, but i would guess SpaceX has preference on buyback, so he has to offer to SpaceX first, and if they don't want to buy back the shares he can sell to some other shareholder

Their financials aren't public but the current value of that $400 million probably would be a nasty hit on their cash flow. Even with that, finding another buyer, even among the current investors, probably won't be difficult. He probably didn't get where he is by making rash, emotional financial decisions, no matter how goofy DearMoon was. Unless he's in financial dire straights, he might just hang on to his shares.
