I wish we had a legal way to force musk out of spacex. I want spacex to succeed, I think it's in our nature as humans to want to explore beyond our own planet. I don't think it should be under private control of fascist billionaires with the interests of building feudalist space colonies
We do.
Nationalize SpaceX.
Ooo what if we had a federal administration that covered the national aeronautical and space needs of the country...
What are we going to fund them with, our billionaire yacht money? Isn't that communism?
Sorry, should have specified “a realistic way to legally…” I think I would shit out actual gold before the Supreme Court voted to nationalize anything, much less spacex
Goldschläger for the win.
Damn, I’m being hung up on all the technicalities. “I think it’s more likely that, in my lifetime, I would randomly shit out a pure Royal Canadian Mint 1 kilo 99.99% gold bar in its entirety before the US Supreme Court would nationalize any company”
Hmm... pretty watertight. Like your butthole.
It better be with all that gold coming out of it
This would send shockwaves through the market that it may not recover from. If rich people think their assets can be nationalized for any reason they will panic and bail
Good. Contribute to the society that allows you to be successful or gtfo. There's bound to be growing pains associated with that but I don't think that would be worse than what is happening now.
I only see positive benefits in this comment.
The assets they have in the United States would not go with them, and they would no longer have access to the US consumer and corporate market. Good luck.
Maybe arrest him for encouraging assassination of the president?
