That was how Tony Stark got rich too, remember?

I 'm not quite nerdy enough to know Tony Stark's character history. All I know is that Facebook, Amazon, and SpaceX would have gone bankrupt long ago if not for the government contracts. It's one thing to profit from government contracts; it's another thing entirely to owe your existence/survival to them.

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.
