It's a Los Angeles aerospace industry surplus store called Norton Sales. Now it does lots of its business with Hollywood studios seeking sci-fi props.
Today both Elon and Peter have lots of cool space stuff of their own (stuff that really works). But I bet that both of them look back fondly on this place.
Both futuristic and retro, all at once!
This is precisely the old LA aesthetic and sensibility that I used to love, off-kilter futuristic, everything from occult bookstores and strange religions, to stores like this. Back in the day LA was the perfect place for mad scientists with plans to either take over the universe or tear apart the space-time continuum.
I can see the influence of this sensibility in Elon's giant interplanetary spaceships that land tail-first like any proper sci-fi spaceship should, in Neuralink's brain/computer interfaces, in the humanoid Teslabots and the self-driving robot cars.
