For those of you prone to attacking Elon Musk for "taking government money", might be time to wake up. Launching a spacecraft is 10X cheaper than it was 10 years ago...but only if you launch with Elon's SpaceX.

TEN TIMES CHEAPER.

The legacy government contractors are still ripping off the taxpayer. SpaceX is delivering far, far more for far, far less.

No wonder Joe Biden refuses to meet with Elon.

And it’s adding up. In 2021, SpaceX launched more tonnage into orbit than the entire rest of the world COMBINED. And it did it at a fraction of the cost.

This is just the beginning.
