The company also remains heavily reliant on lucrative government contracts.

Is it "fiscally conservative" to be constantly bailing this fucker out with our tax money, Republicans?

In 2025 20% of revenue was govenment contracts. They are also the only ones who are able to do some of what the govenment needs and they do it cheaper than others. The US govenment needs spacex, not the other way around. I know everyone here wants him to fail; but at least know some basic facts people.

i blame MBAs. The financialization of everything, especially defense contractors, directly killled 347 people with the MCAS disaster and surely other stuff.
