What do you think Musk’s company relied on for their space program? The novel aspects of that company are a tiny blip on all the government-funded research incorporated into its launch and vehicle systems.

Saying a private company put that vehicle in space is technically true but also at the same time highly misleading.

By the same logic no internet company has ever done anything more than a tiny blip of work compared to the accumulated effort of millions of scientists spanning many years that lead to mass produced GHz microprocessors.
