    I 100% agree with you but is there someone else in thr US who can reliably launch satellites? I know several othe companies are developing these systems but I don’t think any are anywhere close to Space X’s reliability or capability.

    Space X is doing some awesome stuff and I hate that the awesome has to be tempered by the owner is a piece of shit.

      They’re only able to do it because they’ve received trillions of dollars from the federal government.

      They should nationalize SpaceX before they ever let someone like Musk get the security clearance needed to be in that position.
