SpaceX already gets massive amounts of tax payer money.

Now the question to ask is which of these poor technologies, that has been treated so unfairly, does Trump and his buddies have money invested in?

Beyond the obvious reason you just mentioned, China has essentially stood on the shoulders of the US & Russia in order to reach their position as a space power. By the time they became serious about space flight, the technology was already very mature. There's something to be said about being the last one to the technology party.

Do you honestly believe this is a fair comparison? Or do I have to list out all of the reasons why it's not?

My issue with it is that it's being cast as some magical "low cost EV". But it's just another marketing campaign with no real substance.

So it's just a battery with wheels and they're still charging over $20k?
