I was simply commenting on the fact that people think SpaceX is a private company. It may be a private company on paper, but it’s first contract was an ISS contract funded by tax payer dollars. To me, that’s not a private company, that’s all.
Are you saying that any company that takes government contracts initially should not be considered a private company? Wouldn’t this apply to all launch providers? Why is SpaceX singled out?
The post literally says NASA and SpaceX. I am well aware that the project was a joint effort between many different companies. The post topic says NASA and SpaceX. Go be pedantic somewhere else.

Because it’s a post about SpaceX…
Isn’t it also about Artemis (Lockheed, Boeing, Northrop, and Rocketdyne)?

This is Lemmy, the whole point is to be pedantic.
