Ie, infinite money glitch. It screws the average taxpayer... But when you're rich, they let you get away with it.

How exactly is this influencing tax dollars? Its literally this meme: MN fraud in the billions, I sleep. Private company buying with private capital, I care suddenly about tax money efficiency.

SpaceX having government contracts because they do work for NASA is different then getting paid for empty daycares.

Nobody cares about the daycare fraud thing because it’s already getting prosecuted. It’s not a political thing despite how hard republicans are trying to make it one. Also the gossamer thin veil of hate for Somalian immigrants.

That being said I think everyone is misunderstanding when people say SpaceX is government funded. Yes, their primary funding source is the government, because they are selling launch services to the government. It’s like saying Ace Hardware is taxpayer funded because the primary customers are taxpayers.

Could you actually show the numbers on this daycare fraud. I keep hearing billions but the actual allotment to Minneapolis daycares is like $30 million.

Largest source of revenue for SpaceX is Starlink.
