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.
In the US we would remove the leadership, fix the problems with the companies. In this case it’s Elon who is a military risk and political liability. He has broken enough laws and violated our constitutional rights. We can happily remove him from the seat of his power, which are his companies, especially the publicly listed one. Under new leadership these companies can be returned to the public sector just like with General Motors.
I know it’s asking a lot, but you could give an example instead of insulting me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yes sorry. We nationalized General Motors in 2009 Amtrak in 1973 the banks in 2008.
Don’t even get me started on World War II
All of these were taken by the state, not the workers, which was the question.
