/r/union is a subreddit about people working somewhere banding together to fight to improve their lives in a union. Organize your workplace today!
In case you are not familiar with the WeWork story, it was a real estate company that claimed that it is revolutionizing shared work space or whatever, it basically rented office buildings for long term from owners, and then rented out offices separately for individuals.
The company grew very quickly and at some point I believe they were the largest real estate company in the world, but after a few years of activity it turned out that they were losing money. They basically used the investors money for rapid expansion, and when they went to IPO and had to disclose their books they were exposed.
I think something like that may be happening at SpaceX. First it's a private company that keeps its financial affairs in secret, therefore one can only guess what is going on over there. But recent report by WSJ claimed that SpaceX is losing money. They lost a billion in 2021, and half a billion in 2022.
Now I find it very strange. They are the company that claims that they reinvented the space industry, that they managed to drastically cut the cost of rockets by preserving them by being able to land them safely. Taking this into account, that they are the only space company in the world that is able to reuse rockets, and they are very busy and getting new orders all the time, but nevertheless they still lose money?
They are supposed to be making bank, or at least to break even by now, instead they lose hundreds of millions each year. If they are not profitable by this point, when will they be?
Also all this talk about Starlink... but it was also subsidized, and now the US goverment decided to pull the plug by not renewing the 900 mil grant for next year. It's not a commercially viable product on its own. Is SpaceX going to lose money on it too without the subsidies? 900 mil is a lot of money.
I mean I don't know... maybe they invest extensively in their next rocket "Starship" and maybe that's why they lose money, and when it will be finished then maybe they'll become profitable. I don't know. That's if I'm trying to be optimistic.
But something is fishy about this spaceX. I won't be surprised if it goes bust if the US government decides to pull the plug on it. A revolutionary company that redefined the industry is supposed to be profitable and not depend on government subsidies, which is not the case with SpaceX. Something fishy is going on over there.
Musk also had to attract a shitload of money to be able to develope all those rockets, I'm sure he had to sell a lot of shares to get that money. I won't be surprised if he only owns like 10% of SpaceX.
