Government contracts where they buy something is not "funneling" money any more than you "funnel" money to Safeway when you buy tomatoes there. And if Musk had failed to deliver working rockets, NASA wouldn't have paid a dime. Musk bet his entire fortune on it.

Musk also sold those rockets to NASA for 10% of what NASA would otherwise have to pay.

Tell us how that works.

> Less government spending is more likely to hurt Elon than help him.

Are you suggesting that Musk is doing what's right for the country rather than what's right for his fortune?
