What if I told you that’s the same thing.
Capitalism is not why Musk has money.

read Rothbard, Thomas sowell and saifedean amous
Seriously? Wow. Thx. 
Saifedean has consistently criticized Elon. Are you sure you follow his work? Elons entire business is built off government subsidies. Elon needs and thrives because of socialist/communist policies. He’s literally said that he wants to make X the WeChat of the west. Don’t let his words about freedom fool you. Look at his actions.
Just read 40,000 pages real quick Sats. Then you’ll understand why Elon sucking at the teet of plundered government wealth is actually capitalism.
** Every Austrian Economist rolling in their graves after reading your note **
No doubt they have been rolling in their graves for the last hundred years. The keynes state funded takeover is a shocking bastardisation of a profession that they pursued with truth and dignity.
One thing that I would say to all of you that seek to suggest that I don't know know what I am talking about. Please get over yourselves and stop responding with these weird winks and scornful expressions. If you have a point to make, then go ahead and articulate it.
You got it champ. 
Yeah, there is very little “capitalistic” about Musk’s strategies. His entire empire is built on and requires revenues from government agencies. Most - if not all - of which defy free market forces.
Guys, you are dreaming of a rulerless world. That kind of world could sustain up to like 100 million people. Now we have 8bn. Also in that world there will be no electricity, no internet and no bitcoin. I would very much like that, but back to reality, there will be rulers, and Elon is a tool in the better ruler's camp. With the story of being nongovernmental businessman engineer he is trying to fool the normies, not you. Don't take it personal. And find something better to do than dreaming of a rulerless world in your lifetime.
How would Tesla (SpaceX, Boring Co, Twitter, etc.) be different if their cost of capital was 20%+ and global governments more or less had to balance their budgets?
Who cares. In their world all of them print money anyway. Nobody cares about profits and costs and I won't spend time even knowing them.
What matters is that with Elon, Trump and co. I get to not pay taxes, get richer, get info that trully sets me free, can travel anywhere, can ignore gays and women and actually all normies, get more variety of everything due to trully independent countries around the world. All while normies including their bosses and owners get poorer and pay taxes and suffer in their eternal failures due to their own incompetence without people like me who until Trump were forced to help them stay afloat.
100%
Musk loves his government subsidies. Boot licking the state works well for him
