Comment on Five People Founded Tesla, But Only Elon Musk Became Extremely Rich
cole@lemdro.id 6 months agoIt 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Starlink was definitely on track to receive significant subsidy, the FCC recently rescinded.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

I didn’t make an argument, I just provided primary source facts.

Musk’s companies had received an estimated $4.9 billion in government support by 2015, and they’ve gotten more since.
