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:
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.
There's a caveat. Most countries will heavily regulate access to limited resources, for example radio frequency bands. SpaceX is occupying defined orbit which means it's perfectly reasonable to ensure society benefits from this privilege.
