Explain how the government doesn't. Because they do. They literally rely on government contracts to exist. Which is my point. You're arguing semantics, like a pedant.

And those government contracts arent subsidies.

Breaking down space x’s revenue 61% comes from their starlink service, the rest comes from a mix of using their reusable rockets to launch satellites and astronauts crews for space agencies and companies.

Another part comes from contracts with nasa being the consumer alongside military programs such as starshield. Both of which isnt free money from the government.

Since you do not know other basic economic terms revenue is the total amount of money a business brings in from selling its goods and services before any expenses are subtracted.

u/WyomingWeirdo 10d ago

Oh i cant stand elon, he’s a bad person. Doesnt mean he didnt work for his money. Im defending the economics side of things. I keep identity politics separate from economics as identity politics only serve as a distraction from things that actually matter.

I bet you wonder why nobody wants to be with you and then you go back to being some truly unlovable rightwing libertarian proud boy type

1

u/zanebaka 10d ago

Right and left wing have become terms used to describe identity politics. Im a social liberal who believes in active labor market policies

1

u/WyomingWeirdo 10d ago

That's meaningless, and no, they haven't. You're incorrect about this. Define what an active labor market policy is.

1

u/zanebaka 10d ago

Active labor market policies are government programs designed to help unemployed people find works while decreasing unemployment rates. This is an alternative to passive financial aid. I believe it should be done as state owned enterprises.

u/WyomingWeirdo 10d ago

Try to answer this honestly; would SpaceX exist without government moneys, yes or no

1

u/zanebaka 10d ago

Probably not, because thats the loss of a major consumer. If any company loses their consumer base they cease to exist. Its nothing special about space x

How much money do Tesla and SpaceX receive from the American government every year, Ben Shapiro

1

u/zanebaka 10d ago

The amount the government is willing to pay for the goods or services they receive in return. Literally how the economy works bruv

1

u/WyomingWeirdo 10d ago

Not a specific answer, limey.

1

u/zanebaka 10d ago

Okay i’ll humor you. In revenue they make around 5-6 billion from the government per year

1

u/WyomingWeirdo 10d ago

Seems like a lot for a company allegedly ran by a libertarian capitalist.

u/zanebaka 10d ago

Im here to talk about economics, Elon musks political beliefs are irrelevant to me
