SpaceX would be problem for US even if it were a normal company with oversight, but it is privately controlled by one hardcore racist corrupt drug-addled authoritarian, which is insanely dangerous for US. We need to nationalize SpaceX.

The problem with public outsourcing of services is that you need a competitive market of suppliers to generate efficiencies. Otherwise you are simply trading a public monopoly for a private one. And for some services, those markets don't really exist because government missions really are different.

Lots of people knocking @rokhanna.bsky.social for trying to get fascist to support Democrats, but article by @daveweigel.bsky.social is way more offensive to Democrats than you imagine. He posits either Democrats offended Musk making him a fascist or Democrats moved too far left. No fault for Musk.

DOJ is a MAGA org. Tempting to continue to provide DOJ legitimacy with the assumption that the handful of obviously absurd cases it is prosecuting & serious cases it is ignoring on the direct of Trump does not represent the whole, but IF THERE IS NO JUSTICE FOR SOME, THERE IS NO JUSTICE FOR ALL.

It all comes down to Musk & Trump both being absurdly corrupt, both treating our assets as their own, and both stealing as much as they can get from US without any regard to how that hurts our economy, national security, democracy, and even killing innocent peoples around the world.

What matters is not "2 dudes are fighting", what matters is largest donor to president alleging he was regularly involved in sexual assaults on minors, both men are fighting over how much of our assets they can leverage & steal for personal gain, neither cares about kicking 15 million healthcare.

It is painfully obvious that a drug-addled, corrupt, white-supremacist should not have personal (with no oversight) control over our space program and related defense systems.

Centrist Democrats will call it a purity test, but it is basic principles to say Democrats should not align or forgive psychotic drug-addled corrupt white-supremacist billionaire trying to use his money & power to destroy workers and literally kill disadvantaged peoples.

In short: the US President & his top donor got into a public fight over who could control & steal more of our assets for their personal gain.

Elon threatening to just leave people on the ISS is making a pretty good case for why you nationalize your space program!

Reminder that every accusation that: Trump tosses at Musk about his corruption & incompetence was known to him for the 130 days he had Musk running US government for him. Musk tosses at Trump about his frail-health & corruption & incompetence was known to him when he installed him as US President.

Musk: Trump was best friends with Jeffery Epstein and his team is hiding the files with details of his heinous sexual crimes Corporate Media: Biden's team hid the fact that he was old (until he had a bad debate, and they forced him out) which is the biggest scandal in US history

He thinks he is our king, because Congress & Supreme Court & Corporate Media keep assuring him in words & actions that he can function as a king: but our Elites can just as easily take them from if they chose to reassert their power.

Trump could easily have DOJ arrest & prosecute Musk for stealing government data & self-dealing contracts. Putting him away for life & confiscating his wealth. Musk could easily crush Trump by activating all his wealth to expose Trump's corruption, incompetence, cruelty forcing accountability.

I can tell some of you people have never watched the WWF/WWE. Elon is doing a classic “heel turn.” This builds tensions and keeps ratings high. By Electomania 2028, liberals will try to tag Elon in, but he’ll refuse. Then, when Trump is about to be pinned, he’ll bit Dems with a steel chair.

The Trump team thinks Confederate traitors who killed Americans are worth honoring. But Americans who fought at Normandy in D-Day like Medgar Evers, or served in the Navy like Harvey Milk and Cesar Chavez, or worked as a spy for the US Army like Harriet Tubman, well, they are NOT worth honoring.

At some point Harvard should consider creating a campus outside the US? What that would do is functionally drive one of our most successful enterprises: direct exports with crazy positive externalities to another country because they cannot do business here anymore.
