I hate to be this guy, but this is just... not true. That's not how this works at all. How is the government giving SpaceX money outside of a contract? They aren't.
Everyone wants to find a reason to hate SpaceX because Musk, but the truth is SpaceX is a well-ran innovative company.
Then don't be. I'm not sure why you feel the need to glaze the world's richest political agent, unless...
Are you a SpaceX employee? You've said this in the past.
SpaceX ≠ Elon Musk

Please read a bit about Gwynne Shotwell. She's amazing and runs the company very competently.

You're looking for a "gotcha" but my whole point is that people are judging SpaceX entirely on Elon being involved, rather than it's actual merits.
My opinion shouldn't matter here.
