> Shouldn't those SpaceX contracts be based on how well the country is served by them and at what price. I'm always amazed when I read questions like this. I mean ... have you been paying attention? Law firms getting security clearances canceled, incarceration without due process, Harvard defunded, memecoins, gutting of the federal government, &c. &c. &c. &c. Every data point screams malevolence and lack of concern for the common good of the nation. And you're confused about decision-making over SpaceX that "seems" to ignore how the country is best served? Don't get me wrong. You pose a valid question. In fact, only a person who himself cares about the common good would ask this type of question. But man, the big flashing warning signs should be answering your question for you.
