        I’m sure future contracts have been canceled. Decided to go another direction or no longer interested.

            NASA has been hedging all along. Unfortunately the hedge is Boeing which fucking sucks at everything. Or maybe SpaceX was a hedge against Boeing?

          With DoD’s budget, I would expect their own satellite constellation. (Heck, they already have one for GPS.) Maybe they’ll sell bandwith to civilians, too?

            They already funded one through starlink, maybe they will confiscate it for breach of contract and national security. Probably not, but elon is in the fuck around stage right now and I’m curious when he’s going to find out.

              Elon Musk isn’t the sole investor in SpaceX so it may be possible he could be removed from any decision-making in the company.

              SpaceX does make pretty good money from Air Force sat launches, losing that contract could be enough to compel other investors to push him out.

        I hope he gets sent to a black site. Not gonna happen but a man can dream.
