If SpaceX is that critical to national defense & foreign policy, it should be nationalized.

Remove the SpaceX name from that statement and the statement is just as crazy.

Examples:

• If Verizon is that critical to national defense & foreign policy, it should be nationalized.
• If Raytheon is that critical to national defense & foreign policy, it should be nationalized.
• If Northrup Grumman is that critical to national defense & foreign policy, it should be nationalized.
• If General Dynamics Electric Boat is that critical to national defense & foreign policy, it should be nationalized.
• If Honeywell International is that critical to national defense & foreign policy, it should be nationalized.
• If Boeing is that critical to national defense & foreign policy, it should be nationalized.
• If Norfolk Southern Railway is that critical to national defense & foreign policy, it should be nationalized.

It just isn’t our country’s way to steal a company from its owners or shareholders. Its a bit frightening you think it should be.
