SpaceX was definitley solvent early on because of government money, but that’s changing quick. They appear to be positioning to move on from that as they want to retire the Falcon Heavy which would leave NASA in the lurch as it’s the only human rated rocket spaceX has. I can’t figure out if they’re doing this because they don’t need NASA anymore and private launches and starlink make more money for them or if they’re trying to force NASA into rating Starship for human launches faster. Maybe they’re even trying to get NASA to pay out of the nose to get them to keep their Falcon Heavy infrastructure going
