He may well get it. Trump has already said that "We Have To Make Life Good" for Musk so I expect SpaceX will get exclusive and lucrative contracts, etc.
Not surprising that the oligarchs are lining up behind him.
Not really, as SpaceX actually has a viable working product.
If anything, the government is pushing Boeing, Lockheed, their ULA Alliance, etc. to get their act together so the space economy is not so dependent on one company.
Musk does smart things with money, as do most American CEOs. We can allow, or encourage, or suffer the fate of socialist nations which for some reason people seem to need to flee.
Its the president's job to make a fertile garden for the economy. A rising tide lifts all boats. Yes, little people will benefit a little, and big people will benefit a lot ... but look at what happens when big people benefit in a capitalist economy, they invest in more businesses, thus rising the tide even further.
Consider Musk made some small money creating and selling a not very popular video game in his teen years. He invested in PayPal, thus rising the tide somewhat. Made money in that, started Tesla and raised the tide further, created SpaceX, then StarLink, then bought and improved X ... this same story goes on with almost all capitalist CEOs, only you mostly never hear about them. I spent my years in semi-conductors, there, the CEOs invest in all these little college-student startups, then turn around and buy those startups for the technology. Look where we are with semiconductors today.
People whine: waa-waa, we have this great imbalance of wealth in the US, almost trillionaires, and desperately poor people mere yards apart ... but our desperately poor in the US are solidly middle class compared to Mexico.
When Trump wins, Elon Musk deserves the first Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Like Solyndra and the biden administration give aways? To name just one.

Yes, but is it the president's job to "make life good" for particular people, rather than general welfare of all of us?
