SpaceX became profitable not all at once as well.

I think we should all remember that company's success is also a function of investors' money AND public trust. SpaceX for some people was a symbol of all things modern. Tesla as well to some extent.

With such amount of trust no wonder these finally became profitable.

Ah, also companies engineering vehicles and spacecraft are rather different from a company the whole purpose of which is matching people (readers to posters, advertisers to customers, so on).

Could you please point me to where I can find info on Spacex profitability? I've done a google search, but all I can find is revenue.
