How much are we subsidizing Musk? Maybe that money could go to the Space Force to defray costs as Libs are complaining about the cost of a new branch of the Military.
The article is deceptive about SpaceX. NASA has always purchased from other companies. The Saturn V was built by private companies. Even today the Atlas V and Delta IV are purchased from United Launch Alliance, a joint company of Lockheed and Boeing. SpaceX can sell a launch to NASA for much cheaper than NASA can build otherwise.
Now Tesla, yes that is a scam. But SpaceX is just like any other launch company. They have to compete on price, and they are the lowest.
