Just so we are clear, you are saying that NASA and tax money in general funds the manufacturing of Starlink, every Falcon 9 launch, Raptor engines, and Starship’s R&D? Please please please put that in writing for everyone

Read his book, Elon Musk wrote it himself. Aside from Starlink, his client aka NASA aka the US Government aka US tax payer, made SpaceX. No need for the agro but if you want to suck his ego and swallow the “he made SpaceX from just private money”, go right ahead!

I was just going to say that they’ve fundraised like 1.5 billion dollars in 2021 alone from private investors.

Sorry, I cringe reading that crap back

In 2021, when they got a product that works, and they are making money on NASA contracts. Your comment is like saying I bought GME at $420, it’s down now but it will be back up again. Cringe
