At least I can watch the rockets go up and down out of the sky. Much better than $8million/day going to Africa for a study to see if rainbow colored meth makes mice turn gay or trans
Yeah, better to watch those rockets. It’s not as if I want money any spent on rainbow mice either. We’re looking at wasted govt spending now.
The point is the amount of spending toward the person who has the Oval Office press conferences with his kid.

Those rockets don't come from Costco.

I would say Starlink alone is worth it to our military.

I contributed plenty of substance with that post.

Lots of satellites. He’s got the Department of Defense over a barrel on those…

Ok. What are they? Why are they waste?
Can you link something to support your argument?

It’s really not that much for one of the top companies in the country, kind of small actually.

Where are you getting that?
Interestingly, the actual government spending website shows he’s received a total of $600M in government money between space x and Tesla. Interestingly, all of that money is from subcontracts. Meaning the government is awarding the money to someone else (ex Northrop Grumman) and they are subcontracting part of their contract it to Spacex.
So, Elon doesn’t even have government contracts. Other entities are contracting for his services and they happen to be government funded.
You should stop reading everything you see on the internet without actually verifying.

Depends on if waste was found. That’s a large enough contract to require an audit.
It ties into the firing of IGs. But now we may not know if the investigations of waste are halted.

So you’re saying the money trail is complicated. That’s a given.

Elon Musk gets $8 million a day from US Contracts
I think that is awesome! Even more awesome is that he and Trump are basically saving our country and the world!

That's a damn bargain. His services and those of his employees are worth every penny.
You need to go the Cape and see how many rockets he is putting in the air each day. It would take NASA a 100 years to accomplish what Spacex does in a month.
Starlink is amazing. You would know that if you have ever been assigned to the middle of BFE.

Also earliest contract goes back to 2013…or 11 years, which is 4015 days.
So, that’s more like 149,000 a day. But don’t let facts get in the way of a good lie.
