It got almost a billion dollars in subsidies from America last year. This is whilst being unprofitable.

It seems Starlink A) isn’t getting subsidies and SpaceX is B) providing services in exchange for payment rather than just getting free money.
On top of this, SpaceX is reportedly still profitable. I just don’t understand your argument here. No sources, no actual hard data just conjecture.

Starlink was definitely on track to receive significant subsidy, the FCC recently rescinded.

Alright, this doesn’t support your argument. That is a counter example that SpaceX ISN’T receiving subsidies. Anything else? I do appreciate the discourse though
