SpaceX operates entirely at the behest of the US government and military. Elon has lofty goals and speaks aspirationally, but they are a defense contractor no different than Lockheed or Boeing.

Wrong. Correct would be "SpaceX uses US government and military to pursue its goals".

> they are a defense contractor no different than Lockheed or Boeing.

Wrong. Lockheed or Boeing don't have goals other than profits.

Don't you understand Musk's mindset? For a Silicon Valley type he's very understandable.
