Can we debunk this nonsense? Elon Musk was awarded (note: not given) cost-per-result contracts to perform a service for the US government. The total of those for SpaceX specifically is ~$22B, which includes repaid loans, state tax incentives, etc. The deal was simple: put stuff into LEO at or below a set cost. If SpaceX does it below the set cost, SpaceX keeps the difference. If it doesn’t, the company is responsible for the overrun. End result? SpaceX & Elon lowered the cost of getting 1 kg into LEO by 95-97% vs what NASA was paying previously. And for the record, every other company around at the time was offered the same opportunity to bid on the contract - Musk/SpaceX just took it. The handout narrative implies the taxpayer is the patron and SpaceX the dependent. The cost data shows the opposite: before SpaceX, NASA paid Russia’s Soyuz $80-86M per seat; SpaceX delivered at ~$55 million. SpaceX saved the US taxpayer $300M-$465M each year on that alone (the US sends 12-15 astronauts to space each year) On the lunar lander, NASA estimated SpaceX’s fixed-price bid saved $20B-$30B vs the Boeing-preferred cost-plus approach. So: SpaceX saved the US taxpayer more than the total value of contracts it earned on a single project, PLUS provided the US government with the requested services (put stuff in LEO) at the best possible price.

Elon Musk was given tens of billions in government contracts and tax breaks and was able to take a company that’s lost $41 billion and somehow become a “trillionaire.” You will pay social security your whole life and they’ll tell you it’s an “entitlement” when you try to collect

It’s funny, motocross at the White House is, like, fine with me. But here’s an example of something that is genuinely unforgivable but that a lot of people seem to have moved right past.

@Anakwanar @DJSnM @elonmusk @SpaceX "not have the right to travel to space until you fix planet Earth issues" that's thinking of earth as a closed system, instead of utilizing the resources outside of it. Zero-G is something we meaningfully do not have on earth, already it's given us a cure for one form of CF.

During the Holocaust, European Jews actually did petition for refuge in Alaska (Google the Slattery Report). They were denied and perished. That’s exactly the point. Jewish survival cannot depend on finding some piece of land where everyone else agrees Jews are allowed to live.

If Israel was created in Alaska, no Palestinians or Arabs would've objected! The issue is NOT Jewish statehood, the issue is building a state on top of OUR land, stealing OUR homes, properties, assets, farms, culture, & olive trees then caging us in concentration camps!

@FlamingkittyU @theguardrailguy by defending a system that lets people get away with negligent work you are complicit. If your mechanic effs up your brakes, paraphrasing your words "brakes are not some magic gizmos that halt all momentum, any time they're used there is a risk to life, "installed wrong" or not,

@chronicoley_me @cocomarvgrows my neuroscientist girlfriend presented papers on masking/effects of covid on the brain for lab meeting/journal club. At the start some labmates put on masks, but when PI critisiced it, said how they moved their kid into a school that no longer masked, the labmate masks came off.

@LogicIllustrat @QuantumGuard17 that is a valid comparison as opposed to Hunt's. Theres the right to free speech but classic limit is not falsely shouting fire in a theater. When exercising rights can threaten lives then reasonable limits/mitigations are warranted.

@Robotbeat There was a company which had a contract with PG&E to supply space solar power. After Starship was announced I got in contact with CEO. He ended company because even with free launches could not compete with terrestrial + battery
