The Purge

[jinjuku]

You have reading comprehension issues.

My reading comprehension is fine. SpaceX was mentioned. It was insinuated that SpaceX is some nebulous black box of a company that can somehow now only survive by having Musk ingratiate himself with the current administration.

That's the only thing I've been pushing back on because SpaceX has legitimately cemented their position through thinking outside the box when it comes to launch and recovery.

Yet again you've reading comprehension issues, and quite possible the cause of your repeated straw man. You're also getting a little unhinged.

How so? I've been talking specifically about SpaceX.

They made an estimated $3B last year. They've sued the Federal government just to the ability to bid. They launch LEO payloads at ~$2700 a kilogram vs no bid favorite ULA at $23,000. They are replacing Boeing (part of ULA) Starliner as the human launch and recovery platform.

And more WHEN than if, Starship hits it's engineering goals payloads are estimated to go down to ~$200 / KG.

I've not spoken about any other aspect then the incredible flight of fancy that SpaceX needs Musks nose up the ass of the current administration.

That I'll submit to you is what is unhinged.

Do you have a link to that statement by him?

Are you comparing this to Musk's 'on paper' personal wealth or against the valuation of the companies he's produced?

The money is has gotten from the Fed Govt as the article note. "" with the help of billions in government subsidies. "

 

[jinjuku]

All government money to Elon Musk, consisting of discounted loans, grants, environmental tax credits, and subsidies equals $4.9 billion or about one percent of Elon Musk‘s net worth

To bring this back around. What is this compared to the total valuation of companies that received subsidies? The Inflation Reduction act is just one example of subsidies out there for a lot of verticals and it's intended to have an economic 'knock on' effect ultimately culminating in spurred growth of jobs, salaries, etc...

I think the picture it better painted that way IMO.

Good, now let’s check and see how USAID is doing… to be continued

 

[Dude#1279435]

Musk could donate $5 billion + $20 billion assuming that's the total subsidies from SpaceX. Total portion of wealth is around 7%. Cause we don't want to be a hypocrite while running federal cuts. No problem.
