Yes Musk has a very long record of not paying people until they eventually sue him. This isn't a new thing, this has been a kind of lifelong thing of Musk's.
This has literally been Musk his entire life.
That explains why he and Trump became so close. They both enjoy dine and dashing.
The rich don't stay that way by spending their money.
they usually spend other people's money
So the exact same tactics as the Cheeto in chief, then
Cool gonna do the same thing to my landlord
Who do you think the cops serve?
I had this happen with a Fox News host that lives near us. We rented out a piece of equipment to them they needed and they wouldn't pay until we threatened to sue. They eventually did this to everyone, so even if you figured out which host, you wouldn't know who I am.
Also see Trump. Same thing.
Until people stop working on the promise that skeezy grifter billionaires will pay them, they will continue to get scammed.
And with one born every minute there's a lot of people who don't think they would be scammed by the scammers
You don’t get rich paying your fair share
Remember: the reason billionaires are rich is because they steal other people's money
Remember when Bill Gates bought out Globalhypermeganet?
Should've added a dead man's switch or something, no pay, DC go boom.
Nazi appropriates the name of computers designed to beat Nazis.

It takes a village of assholes to build an illegal gas burning plant.

The Trump 'strategy'.of not paying debts.
That's literally every billionaire
If you work for a nazi, you do not deserve to be paid.
I suspect he does this so that he can say "oh! I'm so sorry! It must have slipped our collective minds over here at spaceX. I aught to give you even more money!"
"Tell you what: how about i buy your entire company ? That's right, that's right; it's your lucky day, you little dickensian urchin. Your teensy tiny little venture has caught my eye. It would be a great addition to my expanding engineering portfolio."
Driving the contractor firm to the brink of desperation improves their bargaining power because the guy has to choose to either 1) continue to not be paid or 2) have his employees starve for a bit longer, probably quitting en masse when he can't pay them.
Then SpaceX can just plop down launchpads by themselves because they have a whatever-you-call-that. A spin-out? A contracting division with expertise in spacepad construction.
A spin-off is the opposite actually, it's when you let a part of your company leave it (usually when it's something not 100% relevant to your core business)
Thank you, that's good to know
the spacex that keeps doing worse and worse with each rocket launch?
All the more reason for it to aggressively expand and become too big to fail, or add further diversification to its business model
