  > So how much subsidy did Musk receive for SpaceX? (The answer is $0.) Wut? SpaceX's largest customer is the government. If you're just looking to play semantic games where that revenue isn't a "subsidy" then I don't see how it's possible to have a conversation. You also didn't address the other point, which is especially salient given that Musk has now spent a chunk of his concentrated wealth lobbying to gain significant control of the government that gives him funding. But I guess revolving doors, corruption, and grift is just normalized good behavior in 2025 as long as the person is wearing the right color hat?
