If he's not careful the US will simply nationalize SpaceX. It's not going to happen in the next couple of years, but this kind of shit will cause it to happen eventually.

He'd probably love that, gives him more reasons to complain about the left on Twitter.

The reason Space X had suck an easy start was lack of competition in the launch business.

Boeing and Lockheed had so fucked up a competition for launch vehicles, the only way to avoid eternal lawsuirlts was to form United Launch Allliance, initially a 50/50 ownership split between the only 2 launch providers.

The military and alphabet agencies want to buy launches not build big rockets. ICBMs being the exception.

Maybe in your commie mind. But not in the real world. Not in the US.

We have nationalized utility companies in the past. In fact we even did a satellite data network.
