    The main product of SpaceX is corruption, they also have a side-business in rocketry.

    Tesla is a publicity stunt company that occasionally sells cars. It seems natural to merge the two.

        Also look up how spacex was awarded the HLS contract for Artemis. It’s pure corruption and fraud (facilitated by Kathy Lueders), and helps explain why they’ve failed to deliver what NASA bought.

        Musk used his informal position in Trump’s admin to both cut funding to NASA and to direct contracts to SpaceX, and to squash federal investigations into his companies including SpaceX.

        Trump authored policy that was favorable to SpaceX and he and his family heavily invested in SpaceX right before announcing the policy.
