400 people made $100Million or more.

4400 people made $1M or more.

Abundance.

Lets say NASA accomplished what SpaceX has done technically, how many people would have benefited financially?

None... I am not sure what Lumpers are complaining about imagine all the taxes that can now be confiscated?

Except for CA where the "Fuck Elon Musk" tweet will live in infamy.

Furthermore, recent corporate disclosures indicate SpaceX has claimed $1.9 billion in income tax breaks, an amount the company believes could be disallowed upon audit.

Not sure what the complaint here is, helping the US be the greatest country on earth after the government program floundered should be honored, not pissed on.

I didn't have an opinion of Musk until he got into politics and then I didn't like him.

Was this before or after Tesla was such the rage? I heard there are some Lumpers here that ordered the ModelS before he got into politics.

Do you think he would have got into politics if the government was being reasonable?

Same with Musk.

My guess is it will rise a little fall some level off ... then shoot to the moon.

The point being, SpaceX will make 100% MORE millionaires than anyone collecting a paycheck from the government ever will (if you discount fraud as a way).

They all regret it now. Mostly because they were lying in the first place.

Its strange to me, these Lumpers seem to either worship or destest people, and sometimes flip back and forth.

I don't understand this.

SpaceX was worth roughly $63 per share, less than half the IPO price, according to Morningstar

IPO's rarely represent "worth", they represent hope in the future.

Another thing someone mentioned, and I don't see it here ..

Where are all the DR ScienceBros? Elon popularized the electric car in America, diggs tunnels, is in the middle of AI, and out-rocket-launches NASA by orders of magnitude.

Seems like a pretty solid resume.

Tweet that cost California BILLIONS in tax revenue ... can you imagine ...

Should this government employee be held liable for the loss of revenue, that could have been used to feed the children, and give healthcare to illegal immigrants?
