because I have said that assuming that Musk&#x27;s main goal with SpaceX is not to send the supply (or astronauts in near future) to Space Station. His main mission with SpaceX is to help create a self-sustaining city on Mars. It seems to me he is using government&#x27;s space contract money to pay the bills till he achieves his main mission. In that sense, I&#x27;d say that Govt is helping him and not the other way around.
