I will give Elon the fact that SpaceX is indeed far more privately funded than say Bezos blue origin but... where do these profits come from? Obviously only Tesla can fund this...

Consider this... Elon's business was mainly built on massive tax incentives from the federal government and later on a massive incentive from the state of CA.

When it came down to paying dues? Elon moved himself and his business to TX.. a state that wouldn't charge him taxes... now he is the richest man on Earth.

Something about that doesn't sit right with me...

Many would say he is doing what's best for his business... well sure, and this is why you can't find workers anywhere now and everything is a shit show because everyone did what's best for their business...
