If the Dems hold Congress and get the White House in 2028, SpaceX will be nationalized. You've already had calls for it. When they have the power to do so, they will.

I think we’ll see tons of “soft socialism”way before we see nationalization. That’s full blown commie. I can’t see it.

Outside of war of course.

Ooooh $10 billion you don’t say that’s a drop in the bucket revenue wise for a multi trillion dollar company

That would actually be pretty funny.

Can you imagine how fast Elon would start another rocket company somewhere else, then hire all of the people who are jumping ship in droves from SpaceX, then slowly begin to lap any and all of the "innovation" the fed stole?

I'm waiting for him to terraform Elon land in the middle of the ocean somewhere. My family and I will move there. Y'all can have what's left here.

I wouldn't put it past them.

They are itching to save Ukraine and get at Russia. They may not start a war for the sole purpose of nationalizing industry, but you know they won't let a good crisis go to waste, and would use a war to natiionalize.

Good, we are in agreement then, give the contracts to someone else, but government contracts will be the least of Elons worries when they start investigation his currups dealings.

I absolutely love Elon, he's ten steps ahead of these fools.

Louisiana needs to continue to strengthen this partnership.

@TheLastRefuge2
(4) Starlink will be nationalized. The Ukraine vulnerability cannot be allowed again. Elon Musk will have to accept a new regulatory agency as created responsible for space oversight reportable to congress. This way congress will control the specific mechanisms of Starlink on behalf of allied international stakeholders who do not have their own space program or capability. More indulgency fees outlined for access, more congressional bribes, payoffs and skimming.

@TheLastRefuge2
(5) More lucrative SpaceX impact fees will be demanded, same intents as above. An additional layer of federal oversight and regulatory agency if Musk balks at payments. All your space are belong to us, not private industry. Connected govt regulatory bureaucracy office, ie. monitors, assigned to SpaceX HQ – launch approval layer. Grind Musk down, minimize exceptionalism again.

Can you name one corrupt dealing by SpaceX? (I see spelling is a challenge for you)

Do you currently do business with SpaceX, or have you in the past? If so, do you have any firsthand information to share?

I think I know the answer...

Regulation is highly likely once they figure out how it advances national security and US interests.
