Seeing the entire Free world which is spending Hundred of Billions of Dollars supporting Ukraine in it's fight against the Russian invasion of aggression and genocide, be shocked into virtual silence on the matter, it's nice someone is saying "fuck that, what's going on here", but the fact literally EVERYONE else in the Free world governments are as silent as lambs tells me Musk has got his hooks deep into multiple nations Defense infrastructure, and until the United States moves to formally nationalize Starlink, the only important positive moves bringing Musk into line, will be behind the scenes we'll never get to see or know about.

While I would love seeing it nationalized for the pure schadenfreude, there are other more likely punishments, like refusing further government contracts until a certain someone is removed from day to day decisions. SpaceX could easily stay private as long as Musk loses the ability to play Risk with geopolitics. If the US government is paying most of the bills, they could mandate such a move.
