Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I wish we had a legal way to force musk out of spacex. I want spacex to succeed, I think it's in our nature as humans to want to explore beyond our own planet. I don't think it should be under private control of fascist billionaires with the interests of building feudalist space colonies
We do.
Nationalize SpaceX.
Ooo what if we had a federal administration that covered the national aeronautical and space needs of the country...
What are we going to fund them with, our billionaire yacht money? Isn't that communism?
Sorry, should have specified “a realistic way to legally…” I think I would shit out actual gold before the Supreme Court voted to nationalize anything, much less spacex
Goldschläger for the win.
Damn, I’m being hung up on all the technicalities. “I think it’s more likely that, in my lifetime, I would randomly shit out a pure Royal Canadian Mint 1 kilo 99.99% gold bar in its entirety before the US Supreme Court would nationalize any company”
Hmm... pretty watertight. Like your butthole.
It better be with all that gold coming out of it
This would send shockwaves through the market that it may not recover from. If rich people think their assets can be nationalized for any reason they will panic and bail
Good. Contribute to the society that allows you to be successful or gtfo. There's bound to be growing pains associated with that but I don't think that would be worse than what is happening now.
I only see positive benefits in this comment.
The assets they have in the United States would not go with them, and they would no longer have access to the US consumer and corporate market. Good luck.
Maybe arrest him for encouraging assassination of the president?
