Fucking imprison him for his DOGE crimes alone, then seize his assets and utilize them for the national good. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Folstar@lemmus.org 1 point 1 week ago What an interesting twist of logic. SpaceX is three companies in a trenchcoat and laughably overvalued. Even by their own hilariously optimistic IPO documentation, the rocketry company represented a very small portion of the overall value. So sure, pay for the rocketry part. Now let's see how Starlink fares (literally) without a build-in government floated launch platform. It's okay though, because xAI will be worth $22,000,000,000,000 any day now. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Kaligalis@lemmy.world -5 points 1 week ago (1 child) That sounds very communist. US doesn't nationalize companies.
