This has since then been confirmed to not be true:

    There has been a lot of press claiming @SpaceX is raising money at $800B, which is not accurate. 
    SpaceX has been cash flow positive for many years and does periodic stock buybacks twice a year to provide liquidity for employees and investors. 

    Valuation increments are a function of progress with Starship and Starlink and securing global direct-to-cell spectrum that greatly increases our addressable market.

    And one other thing that is arguably most significant by far.

    While I have great fondness for @NASA, they will constitute less than 5% of our revenue next year. Commercial Starlink is by far our largest contributor to revenue. 

    Some people have claimed that SpaceX gets “subsidized” by NASA. This is absolutely false. 

    The SpaceX team won the NASA contracts because we offered the best product at the lowest price. BOTH best product AND lowest cost. With regard to astronaut transport, SpaceX is currently the only option that passes NASA safety standards.
