The Musk SpaceX engineers have bested the world. They developed products that were superior to those of giants NASA, Boeing and Russia.
Rather than suck on the tit, SpaceX is dominant because of excellence in providing a superior product that the US government and others want and need.
Oh, I don’t dispute that at all! I am in complete agreement with you on that, though not all Conservatives are. We can differ with them on that, I think.
I am a big fan of SpaceX, and Tesla too, for that matter. But if he does it while “sucking on the government teat”, I can live with that because he is advancing technology and making money hand over fist.
That is different from a government using tax money to give $535 million dollars to Solyndra, whose investors were BIG Obama fundraisers and supporters, then they went belly up a year later,and over half a billion taxpayer dollars simply vanished.
Vanished without a trace. Not a thing to show for it, even a 1/1000% increase in solar panel efficiency-NOTHING.
Just vanished. And nobody knows where it went, whose pockets got lined...
No. Musk is not that. I hope I didn’t give the impression he was.
