For those maybe blissfully ignorant of car culture that’s an F-150 (the grocery getter for fragile egos) oversized pickup truck , and not some fighter jet.
The current regime is full of ignorant buffoons but at least in that case it would normally be temporary.
In the private model where the gov pays for everything anyway, the taxpayer pays the cost of doing the thing plus whatever profit the oligarch wants to make and you have no way of switching to another oligarch should the current one becomes unacceptable. There is simply no upside to SpaceX as a private entity
It would be under NASA, but the argument is moot, since it wouldn’t happen under a MAGA Nazi administration. It will have to wait until Americans take back our government. Then we can nationalize Space X, confiscate the DOGE Goblin’s fortune, and deport him back to South Africa.
SpaceX should be nationalized. We paid for it, it’s ours.
I don’t know why you didn’t just fund NASA properly.
Government agencies can’t bribe as good. Our politicians are whipped dogs who sell the free world for less than an F-150 a year in kickbacks.

Sure, just let me change the payee on this check
Agreed. This system of giving out money and getting what we paid for sold back to us is fucking dumb.
Who in the current admin would you like to see run it? Because one of them would if it were nationalized. Who would be your pick?

Prison will be perfectly fine for him. That or the neck trimmer.
