It looks like all the money is for successful missions... for Tesla it's tax credits for consumers buying cars. The same credits other companies get for selling EV's. If there were competition for SpaceX -- they'd be eligible to receive money to put things into space as well. None of this money seems to be out of the ordinary for me. That's like saying taxpayer dollars are going to Ford or GM (which, much of it is) every time the government buys a vehicle, or anytime they build a building they have to spend taxpayer dollars on materials, labor, etc. Not really news worthy, IMHO. I thought the figure would be a lot higher, especially since SpaceX is doing so many missions! Elon has for years been asking for the Governemnt to stop subsidizing EV's with tax credits -- but they've ignored him. Imagine asking the Government to stop giving huge credits to your customers because it's unnecessary and wasteful, yet that's exactly what he's done. https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2024/12/05/congress/elon-musk-electric-cars-00192848 https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2024/12/05/congress/el...
