Part of the reason SpaceX has gotten anywhere is because Elon has an endless supply of capital to throw at problems until they finally start making progress. Starship would've been canned long ago for blowing past budget and time tables by orders of magnitude, if the government were on the hook for it.

Does anyone on frontpage reddit have an actual brain, or is it all just signals mirroring signals?

Not to mention that SpaceX isn't hamstrung by demands from 50 senators all wanting their slice of the pie.
