McDonalds is hyperbolic language. There is no market in space, even for SpaceX. Private incentives don't exist in a pure market fashion. Only the ultra-weathly would be the market and they are a small bunch (in the thousands of people) as opposed to the billions in the bottom/middle classes. Also, I wouldn't say the government is the market because that's inflated and not real (always a budget cut away from disappearing).
Hence why private interests won't work.
P.S. I think SpaceX has a difficult task to appeal to the public. When they can do that, on a regular basis, I'll change my position. Or if some weather company is trying to be disruptive with technology and innovation, then I'll modify my view. (But most of us know innovation in the private sector doesn't always reach the public)
