No, we should regain control of our nation from fascists (this does not mean just replace the President), then nationalize SpaceX and Starlink, and make telecoms public utilities.

When's the last time the US nationalised something?

Quite ironic from people constantly accusing their political adversaries to be communists...

Errr... am I mistaken? This is the first time I'm hearing about nationalizing SpaceX and it's from Jacobin....

Does Jacobin make a habit of calling people communists? Pretty sure they advocate for socialist positions usually....

I would suggest that maybe you should leave SpaceX alone, if you want to still have a space program.

Maybe think about to nationalize healthcare insurance, it seems to be something more usefull

Yeah wait until we we have someone in power who gives a shit about science and then re-fund NASA and nationalize SpaceX under the NASA umbrella. (Pipe dreams, I know)

Throw Musk in prison for his many documented crimes, but don't support this kind of dictator shit.
