Tesla and SpaceX would not exist without massive government spending
Pay attention to the ones who are the real parasites.
SpaceX is the only one musk can actually claim to have founded.
the technology used in the Falcon 9 is based on Strategic Defense Initiative research and a prototype called the DC-X, which was doing backflips in the sky in 1991.
The technology used for the BFR, aka “starship”, was based on Philip Bono’s research team, dating back all the way to the early 60s.
The concepts for the BFR, not even the math, go back as far as the early fifties in science fiction.
This man merely provided some of the funding that congress refused to give to NASA. there was no tech barrier to overcome, simply funding.
