Many people think SpaceX receives subsidies from the American government. The reality: - SpaceX has never received federal subsidies - SpaceX won all its contracts with NASA because they offer a better service at a lower price.
“At SpaceX we specialize in converting things from impossible to late.” Elon Musk
Elon Musk in 2011: “I really want SpaceX to help make life multiplanetary. I'd like to see a self-sustaining base on Mars.”

🚨NEW: @JoeRogan blasts the legacy media for downplaying @ElonMusk and @SpaceX's heroic rescue of two astronauts trapped at the space station. "They're trying to sh*t on everything he does and hide all the good stuff. You didn't hear a peep about Elon rescuing those astronauts. That should have been livestreamed on all of the news all day long." "It should have been a huge national event. We're finally going to rescue the astronauts who were trapped in the space station for 8 f*cking months. And this super genius, Elon, is the guy who figured out how to go get them." "His company rescued them because we can't do it anymore. We couldn't rescue them. We had to rely on his company and you don't hear sh*t about it. It's crazy!"
