Elon Musk poses a clear and present danger to American national security. The sooner the US government revokes his security clearance, terminates its contracts with him and the entities he controls, and builds its own alternatives to Starlink and SpaceX, the safer America will be. (emphasis mine$

The government not doing that in the first place lead to SpaceX having the monopoly, so I think that is part of the problem.

Most of the blame for SpaceX's dominance can be laid at the feet of Boeing.

I mean, underfunding our own governmental space program might also be a contributing factor. 🤷
