It might the largest customer, but I am not sure it's a majority customer. According to SpaceX, several months ago they had 1 million paying customers. Assuming the cheapest price they are bringing in $100 million a month.
Is US govt paying them $100 million a month?

"SpaceX alone got a whopping $2.8 billion in government contracts last year, according to The Information, and has gotten a total of $15.3 billion from the government since 2003." $2.8B in a year is $233M/month, and I'd wager it's gone up since then with SpaceX's ever-increasing launch cadence.
- try_the_bass 3y agoIsn't this confounding Starlink and launch capacity?
- starik36 3y agoYou are confusing it with Starlink. SpaceX has all sorts of contracts with NASA and the Space Force. But we are talking about Starlink customers. It's definetely not 100 million a year or even close.
