Profitable like Tesla? That is not actually profitable without a big chunk (like a third) of their money from government subsidies.

It appears SpaceX may not be as highly leveraged with the government with only 20% of its total revenue from government contracts.

It is interesting to look this up but ultimately what I mean is long term profitability considering they will have to continuously replace their satellites every 5-10 years.

The combining of his companies is a whole other level of fuckery that regulators should have smacked down instantly, but you know reality.
