  consider the following: they already don’t get money from them and also showing to wide audience that musk (and his people at spacex) is a inept penny-pinching scumbag can be a nice hobby

    Wait this is SpaceX? I thought it was another company tbh, I was under the impression that SpaceX revenue was in the billion at this point.

      Pretty sure the 100s of millions was referring to back in 2015 or so when they started abusing the free trials.

        I think any space company is semi governmental since they are all funded by the government. I dunno man, it seems like the authors intent to misdirect have been successful. We don’t know who the company in question is.

    Oh, absolutely, but it’s still an exercise in futility if the goal is to have any impact on the offending company’s demeanor and course of action.
