(well, it's as relevant as citizens united....oh....authors united.....)
Oh, it's much more relevant.

Those guys identified a need in a profitable market and they developed an approach to address that need. And, most importantly, they are proving their effectiveness. They just received an Air Force contract to deliver product (rocket engines) that will free a segment of the market (Air Force satellite launches) from foreign domination (russian engines).

A whole lot like what Kindle and Indies are doing.
(If you squint just a bit.)

(Also, its fun to watch the slings fly between Bezos and Musk. Shades of Tesla v Edison!)
