SpaceX is a true marvel.
The closest competitor is Peter Beck's Rocket Lab. That's why SpaceX is using their monopoly position to attack them.[0] As I said in a different post, Beck is a combo of Musk and Tom Mueller.[1] The "only" things that Rocket Lab is missing is first-mover advantage, and billions of investment.

I don't think you can call Rocket Lab a competitor of SpaceX by any metric. Besides, look at the comments in the link you posted, it's pretty obvious that SpaceX isn't attacking them.
