Exactly. SpaceX is just a public defense contractor a la Lockheed Martin and Northrup Grumman. Yeah, SpaceX may one day send you to Mars or fly you across the world in 30 minutes. But it's main revenue generator will always be the US government, whether that's sending astronauts to space stations or launching military satellites.

Elon is not here to save humanity or whatever BS he's trying to peddle to the world this time around. He's here to make enough money to become the 21st century equivalent of a god.
