we can do better, let private industry lead the way

I agree.

But I would call Musk semi-private. Space-X and Tesla are heavily subsidized.

Understood, but even semi-private progress is better than what we’ve got currently... which is nada.

I’ll give you Tesla, but I keep hearing people say this about SpaceX buy how is SpaceX subsidized except by the government paying them to launch satellites, instead of paying someone else, like the Russians?
