      He is trying to word a message that can be understood by people who don’t know enough about science to understand how much energy it takes to move a tiny bit matter to lightspeed, or that we still don’t have a theory for faster than lightspeed travel that doesn’t break the known properties of the universe.

      He wasn’t speaking literally about money.
