I'm not sure what you're trying to say in response to what I said. I'm not denying that Musk lies.
I'm saying calling money from government contracts for NASA and the likes subsidies is not correct. Unless my definition of subsidies isn't right and needs expanding.

I'd agree that unnecessary contracts are subsidies but then that just pushes your point down the road a little bit. I'd say that maintaining the ISS isn't unnecessary, for instance.

Maintaining the ISS is absolutely necessary unless you want brainrot like RFK Jr and have all your best scientists move to Chinas new space station projects. The world is a complicated place, but shunning science and space is not the answer

That's exactly what I said.
