Calls grow to nationalize Starlink, SpaceX
American children may get more than just a hypothetical few shares of stock.
They may get the whole company.

Calls to nationalize Elon Musk's SpaceX (NASDAQ:SPCX) have resurfaced amid a dispute over restrictions on satellite services used by Ukraine's military, raising questions about private control of critical military technology.
....
New reporting from The Wall Street Journal indicates that Musk personally ordered the slowdown of the military-grade Starlink service on October 14, limiting the speeds at which Ukrainian drones could maintain a satellite connection. The restrictions have disrupted both offensive drone operations and efforts to intercept Russian attacks.

Musk later claimed that restrictions on Starlink speeds and usage were determined by the U.S. military and ultimately the president. Trump, on the other hand, told reporters Monday that he did not know who was responsible for the slowdown.

It turns out that bipartisan alarms go off when a private citizen controls US foreign policy.

And Mr. Musk has been the beneficiary of huge taxpayer-funded grants.
Taxpayers have something to say about what they did and did not pay for.

Calls go out when somebody who is not a Democrat has money.

Democrats want the government to control everything. 1984 is their dream, not their nightmare.

Ukraine and the Zelensky c*ck-gobblers are #BigMad that Starlink discovered Ukraine was using Starlink civilian satellite data to target drone strikes in war, and they closed that loophole.

Sounds like a very socialist/communist thing to want. Right on par with today's Democrats.

RE: Calls grow to nationalize SpaceX
Democrats Are Using the Soviet Playbook – Publicly Call for Nationalizing Private Businesses to Punish Elon Musk for Supporting Trump – Musk Responds with Fire


Quote:Little man syndrome.

Four foot ten inch Robert Reich called for Democrats to steal Elon Musk’s businesses and nationalize them on Sunday.



Reich is taking a page directly from Joseph Stalin and all of the communists since then.

Former labor secretary Robert Reich on Sunday called for Democrats to “defund” Elon Musk and take control of his companies.

Robert Reich: “We’ve got to defund Musk. And when I say defund Musk, you know, 75% of his wealth is dependent on taxpayers who are buying Starlink systems for the Department of Defense. Defund Musk. I mean this. If we have a Democratic administration, and the Democrats ought to be starting this, not just with oversight hearings, but also starting laying the groundwork for nationalizing Starlink and SpaceX.

Nationalize it. It should be a public corporation.

We should not ever have that kind of power in one person’s hands, one private person’s hands. I mean, Musk is buying, trying to buy the senator from Texas. I mean, why would we, why should we allow this? Seriously.

Well, we shouldn’t. And then this week people started talking about, oh, Musk is going to be held accountable. And he said Live by the sword, die by the sword. That was his— that was in X on, uh, on one of his— yeah.

Yeah, on Twitter, on X. And he said that. And he also said, anyone who picks a fight with me, you’re going down. And he was talking about the Dems. And it’s not a fight. It is accountability. I mean, it is holding him accountable is what people are talking about. And so he’s getting ahead of it, threatening, threatening, threatening, threatening with his money, with his power, with his reach. with his connections.

Well, he knows that if the Democrats take over the House and possibly the Senate, one of the things they are going to be doing is focusing on Elon Musk.

I mean, he’s really going to be targeted, and he knows it. And he’s going to be using his 360 million followers or 260 million followers on X to kind of give him a buttress against that. And he’s going to use litigation. And he’s— I mean, this is— When I say this is Exhibit A in terms of the billionaire takeover of America, this is the oligarchic problem. This is— Musk represents the power of oligarchy in America over democracy. And it’s something like what happened in the first Gilded Age when we had the robber barons. I mean, he is the equivalent of the robber barons of the first Gilded Age, but he’s much, much— he’s even worse. Bigger, even more corrupt in terms of trying to bribe his way into politics. And he also ends USAID. I mean—

Well, the Dems have to have it on their list of one of the many things to fix and hold people accountable for.


And there you have it!

Democrats are going to take private firms and nationalize them. Karl Marx would be so proud.

And, notice how hurt Reich is that Trump and Musk shut down the Democrats’ easy money pipeline to interfering with foreign elections and launder money with USAID. That was telling.



Elon Musk responded to the threats by Robert Reich tweeting out, “Stealing companies is a serious crime. Prison for Reich.”

Democrats are coming for America! The Islamo-Marxists are on the rampage.

Vote accordingly.

How about calls for Zelenski and the media to quit being lying little b*tches.



Musk did not throttle the starshield system for Ukraine. He said only the president can do that.

Trump did not "throttle" the starshield system for Ukraine. That was a lie.

It turns out, starlink disocvered that Ukraine was using their civilian satellite system data to target drone strikes, a violation of the use of starlink. Ukraine must use STARSHIELD for that. Starlink shut them off, and Zelensky started whining like a little b*tch and lying all over the place, hoping some euro-cuck loser would swallow the taint and post his lies.

More drivel from the left. Now that they feel safe stating their goals aloud and in the public forum, we can expect to hear even crazier things from them.

Either you are grossly ignorant, naive, or simply uneducated on what happens when socialist governments take over private industries.

People like minded such as yourself are the first ones that are purged. Socialist governments cannot have nor do they want ideologists aka social justice warriors in their midst.

The whole reason Orwell wrote Animal Farm was after they attempted to exterminate him. A very advocate of what the Socialists were trying to accomplish.

You simply lack any self awareness to the reality that is clearly in your vision.


There is a reason he chose pigs to become the NEW MASTERS.

Well at least it’s temporarily taking them away from their calls to nationalize the oil & gas industry. Guess I’ve got a few more years until President Gavin Newsom becomes my boss!

The calls are coming from inside the house.

Reich was born to a Jewish family in Scranton, Pennsylvania, the son of Mildred Freshman (née Dorf; 1919–2006) and Edwin Saul Reich (1914–2016), who owned a women's clothing store.[16] As a teenager, he was diagnosed with multiple epiphyseal dysplasia, also known as Fairbank's disease, a genetic disorder that results in short stature and other symptoms. This condition made Reich a target for bullies,

RE: Calls grow to nationalize Starlink, SpaceX
Robert Reich, Secretary of Labor in Bill Clinton’s first administration from 1993 to 1997, is telling Democrats to start preparing for a government takeover of the most valuable company Elon Musk controls.... “We’ve got to defund Musk,” Reich said, adding that Democrats should be “laying the groundwork for nationalizing Starlink and SpaceX. Nationalize it.”
....
He plans to keep criticizing decisions about Starlink service to Ukraine that, in his view, “should be made by people who are responsible for U.S. foreign policy rather than by an unaccountable tycoon.”

Robert Reich- there’s the Israel connection. It’s never more than a degree away.

It’s so nice to have allies like them…

They do so much for us, and ask for so little in return.

lulz defund musk

you turdnuggets know nothing about economics. You arent defunding him by taking spacex over. You are handing him over $1trillion dollars in cash to do it.
Which is more than the GDP of all but 21 countries on planet earth. He could then basically purchase a country, start back up there, and leave the US version of spacex in the dust.

I remember when the left's hero, Tampon Tim, tried to drive down the price of Tesla about a year and a half ago and celebrated when it hit $225. It currently sits at $400.

Libturds are morons on the economy, investing, and running businesses.
