This is literally just wrong. This is literally publicly available data: https://www.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/atoms/files/option-a-source-selection-statement-final.pdf https://www.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/atoms/files/option-... The government is paying half. And that only for the specialized Moon Lander version. And it requires SpaceX to do a whole lot of things to. Government pay nothing for the infrastructure SpaceX developed, for the Raptor engine they have developed over the last decade and so on. This 80% number is complete nonsense. If you want to make grand statements, at least do a minimal amount of research. Edit: And in case you are talking about Falcon 9 the claim is even more wrong.
