    Haha, yeah, this is a very good point. After all, no government has ever put people in space.

      Lol all you have to do is Google "spacex subsidies" to see how dumb this tweet is

      And here lies my problem with :freeze-peach: - being able to tweet absolute bullshit to tens of thousands of people and having it spread like wildfire

        Did you know that Elon Musk is helping his fellow innovators and entrepreneurs get into space exploration by offering funds to help their start ups? Google "SpaceX subsidies" to learn more.

          The electric entrepreneur didn’t deny the company gets the incentives, however he went on CNBC’s Power Lunch show on Monday, blasting the report as “incredibly misleading and deceptive to the reader.”

          OK, so you admit you get government funding, but you disagree with the article because it makes you look bad

            Ugh I can hear his smug silicon valley ass saying that with a shiteating grin. Faux-concern over the ignorant masses being "misled" over his misunderstood genius. Fucking hate that people like him are setting the agenda for so much of our social production. Such a waste.
