I can't read WSJ.

This article is from 2017, since then they have done a lot better.




You asserted they had been profitable since 2008, and this article was almost a decade later (and forward-looking). They are not profitable (enough) with launches.


I have said they are profitable, not by how much. Of course they are not profitable 'enough' to do what they want to do in terms of Starlink and Mars.

SpaceX always reinvested every penny into development and they have done so for a long time.


They are not profitable. They have funding rounds from VCs, and in the future FCC money for RDOF. VC money does not make you profitable.
