I've managed Gov contracts before, but I've never used services like this, so fair enough I'm not an "expert" in what exactly it is they provide, if that's what you're asking. But I certainly know what the bureaucratic side of things looks like. For your razor, what makes you think both things are not true? Usually when I construct a razor the two options are, at least partially, mutually exclusive. In yours it's certainly plausible that there was some back-scratching going on, and that Elon is using this opportunity to grind his axe.
