Elon Musk’s SpaceX buys massive advertising package on Elon Musk’s Twitter – 14 out-of-this-world responses

Speaking of skyrockets …

SpaceX has been given more than $5 billion of your federal tax dollars. Texas residents, more than $15 million of your tax dollars went to SpaceX.

That money is now being used to keep Twitter afloat https://t.co/BQrWqrdoxZ

SpaceX runs in large part on government subsidies.

If you're from the US, you're paying taxes so that Elon can run twitter. https://t.co/fjIwSPco7O
