It is a meme as of now, but space is a vital strategic location for military purposes, and there are is a lot of potential for mining on asteroids. Satellites for whatever technology, weaponry ... the big nations want to make use of the lack of laws up there and be prepared for others trying the same, even if technology is just not quite there yet
It also was a marketing move, of course. Generate attention and maybe attract zoomers and benefactors who are easy to impress

Good that he kept it. It's a power move I can respect, and it further devalues this meme tournament in my eyes
