US so called SpaceX receives massive financial support from US regime.
CEO of Russia’s state space corporation Roscosmos, Dmitry Rogozin, said:

"If you compare the price Musk sells his rockets to Pentagon at and the price he quotes for them on the market, you will see that this is nothing but pure dumping. In order to drive Russia from the market he sells launches at 40 to 60 million dollars while being paid 150 million for a launch by Pentagon,"

So much about US "free market economy" and "level playing field".

Many US companies achieved their current position only thanks to massive support from US regime. As Shapiro and Taylor wrote: "Boeing would not be Boeing, nor would IBM be IBM, in either military of commercial endeavours without Pentagon contracts and civilian research support"
