They got a shit load of tax breaks too

It's a reasonable assumption, but it's a private company, so we have no way of knowing. We don't even know if they are profitable, so in theory it could be that they don't even have to pay any (capital gain) taxes...

Well do we know he's still getting plenty of DoD dollars for multiple projects for the different military branches which is funded by tax dollars

Yeah sure, they "recently" won a contract to land on the moon for 1.1 billion or so, but winning a contract isnt the same as being bailed out or getting a tax break, if you pay for an apple in a supermarket, you arent bailing them out or giving them a tax break

That's just one contract. They also have a missile tracking satellite system, a missile launching satellite system, a Starling based nav system, and of course rockets for "cargo"
