@karthik3778 I don't think Elon Musk would buy it. He doesn't need it. His dream is to go to Mars not to Earth's orbit.

@thinker9337 I am not dreaming, Elon is. He declared many times that his life's goal is to set up a colony on Mars. That doesn't mean he will achieve it. But he's certainly trying hard. There are several tough challenges, biggest of them is protection against cosmic rays during the travel. As regards ISS, it's a base for conducting basic search, which is not profitable. And I don't think any applied research or space tourism would pay for the high cost of keeping such station. I do not see any potential in it for him, that's all. Some country may buy it in order to boost their space program.
