Contractors are commonly net30/net60/net90 or paid on completion and inspection of work done. This isn't a union job with biweekly paychecks.

You think SpaceX is shopping out their infrastructure to individual contractors?

did we read the same article? The link above says nothing about pay period but does list hundreds of millions unpaid.

hundreds of millions unpaid and zero investigative journalism to try to get at the truth, besides "liens filed therefore Elon Musk is a cheapskate".

So you think multiple contractors in multiple states are just filing liens for fun?

Anything at scale will have payment disputes. Did the work happen, was it for contract, did it run over? These types of questions are extremely common

Right so the article says they aren’t paying but should be. Do you have evidence to suggest otherwise?

The article reports that one party in a dispute says they should be paid.

SpaceX also has also filed a lawsuit against them claiming 5-800 million in damages for fraudulent billing and contract violations, and has made their own statements.

Does that count as evidence?

The problem is that neither you nor I have evidence that says they should be paying, either.
