      nationalize as in purchase? or steal?

      when countries nationalize a company they actually purchase it.

      so you want the government to pay Elon literal trillions, for what exactly?

      prioritize health care, housing and reducing inflation, ignore shitty people in orbit for now.

        What an interesting twist of logic. SpaceX is three companies in a trenchcoat and laughably overvalued. Even by their own hilariously optimistic IPO documentation, the rocketry company represented a very small portion of the overall value. So sure, pay for the rocketry part. Now let’s see how Starlink fares (literally) without a build-in government floated launch platform. It’s okay though, because xAI will be worth $22,000,000,000,000 any day now.

        Pay him? Fucking imprison him for his DOGE crimes alone, then seize his assets and utilize them for the national good.

      That sounds very communist. US doesn’t nationalize companies. US wages war against countries known for doing that (right now it’s Iran).
