Due to subsidies and investment fraud and subsidized tax breaks to 1% shareholders this will cost the US 10x more than if NASA just did it. People like to say nasa was a bloated waste of money, but thinking beyond k=1 it is obvious privatization costs even more in the long run.

Your argument is that NASA could launch 18 rockets for ~$160 million total or ~8.8 million per launch?
Or is your argument that the "real" cost of this $1.6B SpaceX / Space Force contract is in fact closer to ~$16B or ~$160B after accounting for tax subsidies and investment fraud?

Can you go into more detail? You're clearly assigning costs to SpaceX that go beyond the invoice price.

If only the short term hype investors could get out of the market now and we can start building this thing back up.

The stink of endless corruption in the new US of A
Surely is completely unrelated to Musk throwing money behind electing the people who give him these contracts.
