The fact that the President of the United States is threatening to destroy a strategically important US company purely for political retribution should be the lead story here.

The lead story is the United States has completely compromised our space and satellite program by getting in bed with a narcissistic, drug-addled weirdo.
The best thing we can do is divest ourselves from SpaceX as quickly as possible and rebuild NASA.
Yes, President Trump, DOGE was all bullshit—your bullshit. DOGE has crashed and is burning. It will be years before the extent of damage you & Musk did to the USA’s legal, economic, and Constitutional structures is fully known. You both must be indicted, prosecuted, convicted & imprisoned—ASAP.
It's overshadowed by the foreign billionaire with untold access to federal agency systems that had spent months scraping sensitive data being offered asylum by a hostile foreign power.
You can think that even if you want to nationalize Spacex, and even if you think its leader is a neo-Nazi and a national security threat. And even if you think the intra-MAGA cat fight is good entertainment. All can be true!
Supporting competition to SpaceX is a good idea, but nationalizing it is a better idea for US security. Musk has operated SpaceX like a monopolist, receiving over $22 billion in taxpayer money & using his monopoly power to crush rivals. Musk is not a US citizen. https://www.change.org/p/nationalize-space-x
It would be if he actually does it, but it's just another bombastic statement from Trump, should people run around with their hair on fire covering everything he says? That worked out well last time.
Let's not also forget that the Battle of the Man-Children will suck all the oxygen from the media. The rest of the administration will take advantage of this to unleash more carnage.

I’m a hard no on that
It’s personal and petty, just like the two nut sacks involved.
