The slap fight between Donald Trump and Elon Musk has highlighted the absurdity of keeping so much of our space program and satellite internet infrastructure in the hands of a single oligarch.

    So we are pro Trump now? Fuck musk but we know Trump, he will do what he last did. “Nationalize” into his portfolio. That jet wasn’t going to the U.S. it was going to him. No difference will happen. Do you believe the Trump’s are better than fuckwad? I doubt it. Hang them both

    Guys do you think we could goad him into nationalizing the means of production out of spite?

    I can see the potential future value I’m setting the precedent that we can nationalize giant businesses.

    I don’t think Trump should be the one to set that precedent though.

      nationalizing things under trumpt wouldn’t be nationalizing anyways, it’d just be handing it over to his buddies

    Any other (civilized) country, and I’d have agreed. But right now, in the US, I don’t see the point really

    It would go from one oligarch to an other
