Quite amazing... why wasn't ULA able to leverage their billions in government subsidies so well?



Elon is doing it wrong. You're supposed to waste government funding, not deliver stuff.

I only half joke. He's threatening a massive gravy train by showing that government really ought to expect more from private contractors. Why didn't ULA do a reusable first stage? They got far more money from government than SpaceX over the years.


Capitalism finally kicking in, where there is waste there is opportunity.
