So less than his net worth fluctuates every other day or so? Oh…and when did these US contracts get put in place? What do the contracts say, specifically? I don’t believe what you wrote in the OP is factual.

I know your programming didn’t upload it to your drone brain…. But it was asked and answered in the Oval Office press conference. The reply was “if you can find a better value to the services provided to the US government, let them know”

Mind you the US government spent billions through NASA just to strand a couple astronauts on the ISS that Space-X is having to rescue. Space-X is currently the only space agency reliable enough to put satellites in space. He is also having to provide internet through starlink to Ukraine, more than likely many ships in the Naval fleet as well as coast guard, probably a number of US embassies and bases, and other locations.

How does he pay his workers or the costs of business operations or dividends to his shareholders or any IDTA expenses when all that money goes directly to his personal account?…

It’s kinda funny when you think about it.

When were those deals negotiated?

So the government cuts he’s pushing for are adversely affecting him financially?

I wonder what kind of mental gymnastics OP would use to contest this.

That's because the half black guy destroyed NASA and the actual African stepped up.

What’s he providing for that price? Maybe provide the only rockets capable of doing what the government needs done?

That's because he owns the only capable space program, owns the only company that can build a decent electric car, and owns Starlink, which is another UVP he can offer.

Elon or the companies he is associated with? And what is it for?

The details matter.

Tesla Mega Pack are not cheap. See a number of them as a GSA approved contract and that billion dollar contract starts to make since.

He also has contracts for charging stations. That not cheap either.

Good point. NASA receives roughly $25 billion a year. Shut down NASA and contract out the work to SpaceX. Imagine what SpaceX could get done with almost 9x their current budget.

He deserves 10% of every dime he saves us with DOGE. But he's not even taking a salary. I'm sure this is taking away valuable time away from his own priorities.

You losers dont deserve him anyhow. That's why he left your bitch arse party.

He’s worth every single penny.

Even if that 2b only got us our astronauts back, he’s still worth it.
