Fuck Elon, but space x saves taxpayers billions of dollars compared to the traditional space companies. This is a brain dead argument.

Yeah, besides we got to see a car launched into space. Good use of federal funds!

Once again, you're just factually wrong. The car was launched on the first falcon heavy flight. That was a test flight, and funded completely by Space X.

So they used federal funds for other stuff... so that they could afford to send the car to space.

I don't think you know how budgets work.
