    Government contractor is beyond its control. Sure.

      I mean, for once, he’s not wrong; corps control the government, not the other way around. At least in practice. Evidenced by [gestures around vaguely]

        I know but the government can cancel contracts with little cause if they so desire. It is a BS excuse for the US government and Musk attempting to help Russia without saying so.

      Anything in space is under the control of a government in some fashion. There are entire agencies that manage space stuff.

    SpaceX points the finger at the White House and the White House points the finger at SpaceX; someone is clearly lying.

    Yet the government of Norway is responsible for handing out Nobel Peace Prizes. Classy.

    Musk said the opposite, that the government controls the spaceshield or whatever they are calling the military version that Ukraine has been using.

    Too bad europe couldn’t launch more satelites to take over. They seem to kind of suck at it still, I don’t think they ever much tried, although I presume france and the UK at a minimum have a good number. I know france launches into space from their south american french gunieau or whatever, something down there, (it’s easier to get into orbit from the equator.)
