Quite possibly. Not all breaches of contract are a result of corruption, but some could be, sure.
But that's not my point. My point is that this isn't relevant to SpaceX investing its money in some other company. It's SpaceX money, not "government" money. They can waste it on stupid hitlerbots if they want to.
Is it though? I can't be arsed to look it up right now, but I can't imagine they're just being given all that taxpayer money without there being reams of paperwork dictating how they spend it. And if they are, then that's pretty corrupt as well.
Who am I kidding? Of course I can imagine that with the way things are being run over there these days.
Govt pays baker for a cake. Baker delivers cake. Baker can spend whatever's left on whatever stupid thing they want.
Space X has been supplying the launches contracted.
