Comment on We Should Immediately Nationalize SpaceX and Starlink
zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 22 hours agoDonald Trump does not have “all the power”. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be acquiescing to the courts at all. It’s wild to me that you think that the US government would do a worse job of running SpaceX and Starlink than Elon Musk.
You’re treating it like simply replacing one CEO with another, but that isn’t what it would be. I know that Trump wants to be king, but he still isn’t.

2 things. First, I’m not suggesting the US couldn’t run SpaceX given the appropriate funding. I’m suggesting the US won’t run spaceX. Trump will figure out how to deprive it of all funding, or appoint some lackey as a director to totally disassemble it. Do you honestly have any doubt that’s exactly how it would go down?
Second, It’s wild to me that you think that the SpaceX is run by Elon Musk. Go look up who the CEO is.
