Well then let's hope Elon Musk is the one that gets the technology going through SpaceX or something similar since he has a history of releasing his tech into the public domain.

He released advancements with Tesla into the public domain (which could have been observed/reverse engineered by examining products).

Advancements by SpaceX have not been released. They haven't even been patented because SpaceX is competing against governments, so Musk does not want to disclose information to them. And since the product (rockets/spacecraft) can't be examined by the public, there's really no incentive to public domain the tech and give it to competitors.
