If anything good can come out of a Trump presidency, I certainly hope this is it. Government spending and bureaucracy is out of control and has been for years. With the federal government taking in almost $5 trillion per year, it's absurd we are still running deficits.

He pretty much killed X.

Tesla and SpaceX are either direct government contracts or subsidies.
 
How so? :dunno:

It seems to me to have become the go to place where the movers and shakers (both sides) can put it out there BEFORE the MSM has a chance to add their bias to it.....That's killing it?
It has lost 80% of its revenues.

It’s the place for weirdos, conspiracy theorists and antisemites.

The fact that these people are influential in the country is not a good sign.
 
Not hardly.
How can ghettos remain ghettos for 60 years when trillions and trillions of dollars have been spent to eliminate it? Government pays private corporations for products and services. We see what Boeing has become and others from the past. We need new blood. A lot of new blood. China is not the old Soviet Union. We must let the new guys expand to keep our hegemony. If we still can.

Space X sends unmanned and manned spacecraft into low earth orbit rather easily at an economical price compared to NASA having complete control. It does the same with unmanned craft into geostationary and deep space launches. Space X's Starship program will send human tended spacecraft to the moon and mars as well as low earth orbit at a reasonable price if proven.
 
And?

X is not going anywhere and can only go up.....It's a buy.

Why do you hate bargains?
You can’t buy X. It’s privately held and therefore no one has any idea how it’s doing. The fact is that Musk could find its operation out of pocket just for fun, which is probably what he’s doing.

The globalists have endless resources to control anything if needed. They are the bankers. And they never use their own wealth. They use ours. They print the money in many nations.

Its shares are available on Hiive.

Hiive is an investment marketplace where accredited investors can buy shares of private companies from existing shareholders.

Yes, its a marvel that still relies on US government contracts.

Okay. the Space Launch System has cost near 90 billion dollars since it started. We have one unmanned launch so far. It circled the moon and came to earth. The first 4 launches are costing over 4 billion dollars a launch. The price will come down. It was promoted as costing 300 million dollars a launch. It is so expensive that we will not launch more than once a year. This is NASA a whole government agency controlling the whole thing. However, the woke government will keep saying that the first person of color and the first women will land on the moon every time they need billions of dollars more. Government contracts are not going away. Getting much more value for the dollars is important. Especially with China on the way to being the world top dog nation.

If they miss their goal by half I'd be happy. That's still 20%.
