The slap fight between Donald Trump and Elon Musk has highlighted the absurdity of keeping so much of our space program and satellite internet infrastructure in the hands of a single oligarch.
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.
Two 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.
