        His major product is SpaceX. His major customer is the government for the launches and contracts he sells, and his major detriment is government regulation of these launches.

        Being on the good side of the government benefits both.

        But if you have a company whose only customer is the government then you don’t need to worry about the plebs buying your shit.
