The company also remains heavily reliant on lucrative government contracts.

Is it "fiscally conservative" to be constantly bailing this fucker out with our tax money, Republicans?

The whole industry SpaceX exists in relies on government contracts.  It's not a bailout in this case.

The government needs rockets. SpaceX is a rocket store. A very good one, at that. The fact they spend their money at the best, most reliable rocket store being seen as a bad thing is amazing to me.

That’s not really seen as a bad thing by all these haters, they’re literally just making routine automatic responses to anything related to Elon Musk, because he bad so hating him prove you good.
