With ISRO coming on strong, and Russia alienating most of the world, I’m fascinated by what this could turn into in the next couple years
I wonder if elon has been testing all these rockets in a desperate attempt to escape the planet with a bunch of other billionaires now that global warming is on track to destroy us. It would help me understand why the wealthy all seem so hell bent on accelerating the destruction.

All those launches being subsidized and facilitated with US tax dollars while he used it to put telecom satellites up.
Most of the Falcon 9 launches are for Starlink and are paid for by SpaceX themselves. How is that "the government subsidizing them"? If you want to argue that they're using money they got from NASA to fund those launches, is your plumber feeding their family from you subsidizing their life?
