> Is this [SpaceX flight] for the benefit of humanity?

Yes. Much more so than that one weird flight that's "merely profitable for a single company".

> Do we all get a profit sharing check at some point?

Yes, in the form of more space sector jobs, more jobs and economic benefits that come from more kinds of useful stuff being launched to space more often, and eventually - hopefully - more jobs in space and economic benefits coming from that.
