  Absolutely. And if the AI market takes a hit it will barely affect a government contracted space program that will get a taxpayer funded bailout if it has any trouble at all.

    They don’t always bail them out. Sometimes they force sell them to their competitors.

      The richest man on Earth will absolutely get a bailout on our dime and not spend a cent of his net worth.

        Yup. Who’s in charge of determining if he gets bailed out? How much money does each of them need to say yes?

        Oh, they won’t take money? What influence does he need to buy?

        For the amount of money he’s set to get, there’s noone that’ll turn down a nice gift of some sort.
