All the criticism & hate you’ve gotten for this is insane. Hope SpaceX will be ok financially long term despite this move. Unfair for mega defense contractors to get billions in taxpayer money from this war but you’re the one who gets the hate & criticism. Double standard. pic.twitter.com/Z8fQCMAGrM
