- randomcarbloke 1y agoMusk said it himself "that's $100mm every time but it's the taxpayer footing the bill and they should get value for money" (paraphrasing), I can't remember the show but it may have been his Rogan appearance. Sorry to burst your bubble on that, even if it is just carrying Starlink satellites it's still at public expense, not limited to the rocket itself but the infrastructure, and oversight from third parties.
