So is spacex. It's a dictatorship.

All the people forced to buy contracts with them. All the people forced to work with them. Pure. Tyranny.

No, just internally, where king elon makes decrees from high and you follow or are exiled from the nation of spacex.

It's a private corporation: it's a mini-dictatorship. Basically everything functional in the world is built by one. Could you imagine the department of transportation making a car?
