Here's the thing.
Until they can separate Elon from Tesla/etc they have to abide.
Edit: rapid cargo isn't a thing yet, okay, but neither was weekly satellite launches until it was. You guys glossed over driverless warzone ambulances and fixated on rockets as the thing to brigade over? That's the only thing one of his companies seems to be doing well, and all before that DoD pork gets in. Be consistent, kids.
Shipping troops via rocket? I'ma need to see the source on that
Putting 6 armed troops in a very expensive missile and dropping them in a very predictable trajectory with very poor accuracy sounds like a very expensive way to create gold star families.
Consider this. If you needed 6 very well armed troops in an area, why not just give a pile of money to the enemy's troops to flip a few?
You could pay them each 10 mil, and give them a green card, and you'd save 900k on the launch cost alone. Not to mention it would be less predictable, more covert, and it would induce paranoia in the ranks.
second bullet is something he came up with high on k. That rocket hasn’t made it to space yet
