At a cost of indiscriminately imprisoning and killing people (remember Korolyov and von Braun)? Surely. he-he.

If Musk does achieve a second foothold for the humanity, then any and all objections to his methods become irrelevant. So far he does deliver. So we wait for the final result.

Also, if you don't know, we've got a war in europe for like 3.5 years already. I'm seriously curious how many times a space-x total program cost since their start in 2000s has been already sunk into that.

I agree with your general statement, but in this particular case nobody has credibly articulated any real problem with the means.

		But the scientific method does work. So we observe the experiment kindly undertaken by Mr Musk. And then when some results happen we decide. Remember, development of the R-7 into the most reliable expendable booster took about 40 years and that with full backing of a Soviet Union.
