> Boeing is a 'too big to fail' corporation with a significant source of revenue coming from the government. 40% in 2024ยน, billions of dollars of public funds! Just a bit more and it would be mostly state-funded.

SpaceX (as of a year or two ago) was getting 45%+ of its funding from the US government.

0 Federal subsidies for SpaceX including for starlink
