Now if I could just get Elon / DOGE to cancel all funds for the X-59 and make Boom, et al, pay for that project … NASA / Armstrong has no business sticking its nose into that effort.

Why? Anything that Boom develops would be patented and owned by them, whereas anything NASA develops is generally publicly-available knowledge. Many of the major advances in aerospace science have been developed by NASA and passed down to the private sector. That’s how public-benefit programs work.
