Do you have a favorable or unfavorable opinion of the guy and why? And do you have differing opinions on his different businesses or view them in the same light?

Has made his money off the mothers milk of crony capitalism.

Sounds to me like its a good investment that will pay dividends for all of us. $400 million to launch a satellite through our government or $98 million to use SpaceX.

Do you see Boeing, Lockheed, and other aerospace or defense companies that take government contracts the same way?

you don't even have to limit this to defense or aerospace for this argument, most big manufacturing facilities are heavily subsidized by the government and are always widely celebrated here
