SpaceX is the first word of both the headline and article?

Personally I was glad they omitted the obligatory clickbait mention of his name, but yeah it is a little conspicuous how they only show this restraint on the good news...

Not in this article but I read an ABC News article where they vehemently avoided to mention SpaceX when they talked about the Starliner’s problem and the decision of NASA. Literally not even a single word. Hilarious :D

Hopefully everything will work fine. But if anything goes slightly wrong, those media companies will highlight Elon's name in every opportunity.

well if he wants the credit, he deserves all the credit.

You’re missing a few factors:

1. The US would’ve been paying Russia about 10x the cost if SpaceX didn’t exist.

2. Boeing was awarded a ~$3B contract within the Artemis mission and, so far, the outcome is that they can’t safely bring back the astronauts they sent to space.

Those two factors alone indicate that it’s more a mutually beneficial relationship between SpaceX and the government with, arguably, SpaceX providing more benefit relative to the government.

You're pretty good at writing clickbait headlines yourself. Those huge checks are a DoD contract for unblockable internet coms not some handout and for $20 million a month it sounds like Elon is giving them a deal, at least compared to what Lockheed Martin, Boeing, General Dynamics, Raytheon, and Northrop Grumman get every year. They don't just suck the teat, they eat half of it.

You make a good point (imo) but you end on such a grim mixed metaphor!
