"SpaceX's request that the US military foot the bill has rankled top brass at the Pentagon, with one senior defense official telling CNN that SpaceX has 'the gall to look like heroes' while having others pay so much and now presenting them with a bill for tens of millions per month," CNN wrote.
Oh, I'm sorry, I missed where it was announced that Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Thales, Boeing McDonnell Douglas, Northrop Grumman, et al. announced that they were providing their military technologies to Ukraine for free.
What's that? They didn't; a large part the billions in aid approved for Ukraine is actually going to buy gear from these companies, and the government met with their executives to ask how it could help them to sell more weapons? Color me surprised.
Seems the height of hypocrisy for the Pentagon to ask that a civilian company donate its services for free while assisting military contractors to make billions.
