I couldn't easily find a breakdown of capital investment, commercial revenue and government funding, but a cursory search implies the government funding is a small percentage of Space-X budget, certainly not enough to cover the R&D that brought them to where they are.

Part of the cost is offset by private revenue potential and capital. That did not happen prior to this. Starship is an example of this. Space-X undercut the other bidders by leveraging the potential commercial aspects of it to reduce the cost for the lander.

Now you made me miss Darla’s confession. It is just distortion from thick, curved glass. Don’t you know anything? Now shut up!”
