You paid for services rendered. By your logic you should eventually own your neighborhood grocery store because that’s where you buy your bread.
Comment on We Should Immediately Nationalize SpaceX and Starlink

You’re talking to someone on lemmy, there’s a very high likelihood they think exactly that.

Let’s say I bought you a car, I paid for it in full and then gave it to you, and I’m return you sometimes drive me around.
Let’s say I get tired of this arrangement, should I repossess the car just to drive it into the ocean? What would be the point of that? Sure, it’s rightfully mine, but what good does it do to destroy it?

Us? Do you own NASA? Do you have any say on how funds are assigned to NASA? No? Then it doesn’t belong to “Us” it belongs to the government, a distinct organization with different goals and motivations than “Us” the people.

Not to mention that Musk himself contributed nothing to SpaceX’s technical achievements. All he did was insist that the audio of their launches and recoveries include employees cheering maniacally - easily the most annoying aspect of SpaceX.

I’m sorry… you don’t think employees who are achieving world firsts are allowed to celebrate?
You must be fun at parties

This meme is even more annoying than SpaceX employees being ordered to cheer.
