SpaceX getting government contracts saves us from the black pit of the Nasa budget

I'm not saying SpaceX should not be getting government contracts. They've done amazing work. My issue is when Elon claims to be self made or people call SpaceX a capitalist success story. It's not at all; it's a crony capitalism success story.

I also take issue with the government picking winners and losers. Amazon and Facebook should have gone bankrupt a decade ago.

Idk if I would say picking is seeing a talent and investing in it. It isn't crony capitalism if he is held accountable for his production. Going further than anyone has gone, is not picking a winner, its hedging your bets.
