Also, WTF with lunar landers these days? Hardly any are successful except for the Chinese one.

With government subsidies/contracts. And yes, other businesses get these, but there's no way SpaceX does this without government money and likely some high level management engineers involved from the likes of NASA that are still paid by NASA.

Most of SpaceX's clients are now foreign countries (like ArabSat) and Starlink.
Compared to United Lobbyist Alliance, Roscosmos, and ESA, far more of a private business.

35 SpaceX
19 China
8 Russia
5 Rocket Lab
American private enterprise now leads China 40 to 19 in the national rankings, and the entire world combined 40 to 34. SpaceX alone leads the rest of the world combined 35 to 34, but trails the entire world including American companies 35 to 39.
