Donāt forget potentially underpay people. I donāt believe thatās happening for SpaceX specifically, but it does for many other competitors to government jobs. Government jobs arenāt necessarily super high pay, but they usually have solid pay with excellent benefits, pension, and work/life balance.
So when jobs move from the public to private sector, it often comes at the cost of employees. And in some extreme cases, employees are paid so little that they have to rely on government benefits to get by, which is extremely dumb. Thatās subsidizing the private sector.

From what Iāve heard itās true. If you have a job offer from NASA and one from SpaceX, the NASA one is better.
