This guy is no dope… Clearly has no comfort zone "in the box".

No doubt. However, the true innovators of substance in the past have done it without billions and billions of government subsidies. Musk is far too dependent on government largess. It distorts true innovation when you look to arm chair dummies for your riches.

The only gov't money SpaceX has rec'd has been for services rendered, and some hundreds of millions for Raptor development (comparable with the long history of other defense spending for missile development). SpaceX' development of Falcon 1, Falcon 9, and Falcon Heavy, was all paid for by Musk's money and those of underwriters such as Google. So, no, not "billions and billions of gavernment subsidies".

“Musk is far too dependent on government largess. It distorts true innovation when you look to arm chair dummies for your riches.”

That makes no sense at all.
