This isn’t surprising at all. He pivoted to building a techified version of trumps Wall a couple of years ago with palantir ties. Some people’s real talent is seeing where the big money will be a few years ahead of time and getting there early. Not necessarily in order to succeed at that endeavor (see charter schools bilking public funds with less than the promised stellar outcomes), but being at or near the front of the line when the contracts start getting handed out. He did it with VR - taking Zucks cash - and then saw the gubmint under trump was dying to spend big bucks. It is truly a talent - I’d say Musk also has it - but he seems to actually care about the outcomes more than someone like this true POS.
