Has the government "subsidized" SpaceX? AFAIK the government has been a consistent customer of SpaceX and they've leased facilities from NASA but it seems that overall they aren't being subsidized but rather patronized.

You are aware than the government pays SpaceX more than market price right? The difference is itemized as "additional checks", but it's subsidies in anything but name.
