Musk's SpaceX won $843M NASA contract to help discard ISS around 2030

$Tesla(TSLA.US)$ $BYD COMPANY(01211.HK)$ $NIO Inc(NIO.US)$ $XPeng(XPEV.US)$ NASA on Wednesday said it awarded SpaceX $843 million to build a vehicle capable of pushing the International Space Station into Earth's atmosphere for its planned destruction around 2030, a task originally meant for Russia's thrusters. Under its new NASA contract, SpaceX will build what the space agency called the U.S. Deorbit Vehicle to conduct a "safe and responsible deorbit" of the ISS "in a controlled manner after the end of its operational life in 2030."
My Take: This contract is another proof that SpaceX's technology is reliable and is ahead of others in the SpaceX Industry.   Elon Musk owned SpaceX and is the CEO of Tesla. Many shareholders are confident that Tesla which used SpaceX state-of-art technology can compete with the competitors. It is delusion to think that SpaceX success has nothing to do with Tesla. Despite someone (and Tesla's haters) who commented negatively on SpaceX, Elon Musk and his team have successfully turned the company to profit. Here is some recent news about SpaceX:
NASA to create the Starliner as an alternate spacecraft for ISS flights. NASA and Boeing officials have played down the possibility that they may require SpaceX's help, but Crew Dragon is still prepared in case it is needed. The spacecraft can carry extra passengers in case of emergency. It successfully flew four astronauts to the International Space Station in March, as per the reports of the New York Post.
Jeff Bezos' rocket company Blue Origin has filed a comment to the FAA saying they should cap SpaceX's Starship launches from Cape Canaveral due to "impact on local environment". Blue Origin, founded in 2000 (~2 years before SpaceX), has not reached orbit yet. Elon Musk also  commented in X.com: An obviously disingenuous response. Not cool of them to try (for the third time) to impede SpaceX’s progress by lawfare.
