USAF General: How Lobbyists tried to Kill Elon's Rocket Revolution

Vigilance Elite Shawn Ryan | Retired Lt. Gen. and CEO of SpaceBilt, Steven Kwast, just revealed how the military-industrial complex fought tooth and nail to stop SpaceX's reusable rockets—because they were getting rich burning them up:
AIR FORCE GENERAL EXPOSES HOW LOBBYISTS TRIED TO KILL ELON'S ROCKET REVOLUTION
.
"The leaders of the Air Force and of Congress would come to me and say, Steve, see, you're wrong.
Elon Musk blew up a rocket and he's a fool and we're not going to give him any money.
But they were listening to lobbyists saying, Elon Musk is a risk."
.
The old guard's business model?
Build a rocket, launch it once, let it burn up, then charge taxpayers for a new one.
Like buying a new car every time you run out of gas.
Kwast admits the military supported Elon because they saw the future.
.
But Congress?
They listened to lobbyists protecting their cash cow instead of American innovation.
.
Now SpaceX dominates while the companies that mocked "Buck Rogers fantasy" are begging for contracts.
.
That's what happens when you bet against Elon.
