I agree with this, especially when you consider that it is us, the taxpayer that is largely subsidizing musk to build out this toll booth.

It is not crazy to believe that in the medium term that SpaceX will be one of the only viable ways for America to access space. In that position SpaceX will have a lot of leverage and ability to extract concessions from anyone wanting to go to space.

Why my tax dollars should go to help the worlds richest man build a toll booth between earth and space is beyond me.
