Great SpaceX can finance Teslas losses via government grants (our taxes). More corporate welfare for the worlds richest man.

  SpaceX has taken $20M state/local grants and about $100M for R&D on various NASA space programs. https://subsidytracker.goodjobsfirst.org/parent/space-explor...
  That's over their entire lifespan. While they just made $4B in earnings in a single quarter in Q3 2026, probably $30B around in revenue for 2026... They've definitely paid far more than their subsidies back in taxes over the years.

Yeah, whatever.
