Musk may lose SpaceX. The idea of taking over his empire has returned in the USA
Ukraine has accused SpaceX of technical issues with Starlink and Starshield, affecting military operations. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed Starshield is unavailable for Ukraine but denied U.S. government responsibility. Critics are calling for the nationalization of SpaceX, citing national security risks due to reliance on a private company. SpaceX, valued at over $2 trillion, has significant government contracts, making its replacement challenging. The idea of nationalization raises legal and financial hurdles, including compensation for shareholders. Proponents argue that public funding justifies state control over SpaceX, which has been crucial for military communications.
