It still does not have a rocket that can take a cargo or human to space. SpaceX has spent ~20 billion over the last 18 years and thats for everything they've ever done. Including making 3 different rockets, launching 1000 satellites for internet, launching 100+ rockets, learning reusable, landing over 60+ times, developing multiple different space craft to carry cargo and humans to space, all their work on multiple rocket engines, etc. NASA threw 50+ billion dollars into 2 rocket projects that has so far not even flown and does not use any new technology.
If throwing money at something could solve problems, why is it no one else has been able to replicate Musk's success? Even with more money being thrown, even with more experience, money isn't everything.
