  I hate to be this guy, but this is just… not true. That’s not how this works at all. How is the government giving SpaceX money outside of a contract? They aren’t.

    Then don’t be. I’m not sure why you feel the need to glaze the world’s richest political agent, unless…

    Are you a SpaceX employee? You’ve said this in the past.

    Most people at SpaceX genuinely love the mission and will work longer hours because it’s almost a passion.

    We’re pretty well-compensated too.

      This is not evidence to the contrary, especially when the company is intentionally trying to find the limits on a development article.

      Falcon 9 (the only rocket they actually sell launches on) is one of the most reliable launch vehicles in the world.

        I mean you’re right in a sense, but usually when I iterate on a design it gets better not worse.
