SpaceX has many non-government customers, with three commercial launches planned from Sept to Dec of this year. Tesla got a $465M loan from the US Government in 2010, but has already paid it back 9 years early. TSLA had a bad day today, so it is only about quadruple its value from a year ago.
If Musk does what he says he can do by sucking $6B from the California’s government, then how is it better for CA to pay $60B for something nowhere near as good?
I didn’t know that Delos D. Harriman was also the guy from The Roads Must Roll, but that seems to be how the future is playing out.
