Original Note:
The $38 B figure from WaPo also includes SpaceX contracts, where the government gives SpaceX money in exchange for services. As a result of first-stage reuse taxpayers have saved billions, in contrast to all other liquid-fueled boosters, which are discarded after SECO. https://goodjobsfirst.org/elon-musks-business-empire-is-built-on-38-billion-in-government-funding/ https://ntrs.nasa.gov/citations/20200001093
