Space X is the world's most active launch company. They can launch for much cheaper than other companies because they recover their rockets. They have many large contracts that are good for years out.

Trump is not "giving" him contracts. They are winning on bids because they can launch for much cheaper. This has been going on for years before Trump.

Have you seen the S1? We actually have no idea about its costs, and there have been lots of rounds of investments, so it’s possible they only break even or are losing money.

This isn’t software, it doesn’t scale as easily. Musk made starlink because he needed to drum up business to put on his rockets.[b] As a business we don’t know if starlink is making profit or just revenue to offset costs and lengthen his runway.[/b][/quote]

Starlink is very profitable. Look it up.

It’s not a public company. How do we know this?  Musk says so?[/quote]

+1  We have no way of knowing--people just choose to drink the Musk Kool-Aid.  Starlink also gets government contracts from our tax dollars, including one from USAID to provide communication services in Ukraine, which was under investigation for suspicious outages that could be perceived as favorable to Russia, which supposedly was part of the reason Elon Musk was so passionate about shutting down USAID.
