- WalterBright 7mo agoIt's still a non-profit.
- tombert 7mo agoThat's debatable. Musk bought his way into politics and shut down USAID very specifically because USAID was investigating him [1]. Oh, and he used his position in DOGE to assist in making sure that government contracts went to his companies, or licensing out his SpaceX workers when his idiocy led to a shortage of air traffic controllers [2], which was very obviously a publicity stunt if nothing else. So it's a product that was bought and used to enrich a single person. Sure seems like a for-profit to me, at least in this administration.
