NASA (US govt) is space x biggest customer. To say space x doesn’t need subsidies is just false.
For 2025, SpaceX’s total revenue is projected at approximately $15.5 billion. Musk stated that NASA contributes about $1.1 billion of that, which works out to roughly 7% ($1.1B / $15.5B ≈ 7.1%). In a related post, he specified “~$1B out of ~$15B total, so ~7%” for NASA revenue in the context of that year.
Its 7% of SpaceX revenue (see my previous Post) and its not “subsidies, unless you are talking about SpaceX subsidizing NASA.
For example SpaceX charged NASA approximately half what Boeing charged to deliver astronauts to the Space Station, and Space X delivered 4 years earlier and counting, and did it flawlessly.
No SpaceX and America would still be depending on Russia to deliver US Astronauts to Space Station up to today, like America did from 2011 to 2020,
