Replacement makes sense, but wouldn’t a government takeover of the Starlink service be cheaper?

Musk deserves a black hood over his head that’s never removed for remainder of his life.

#nationalizeSpaceX

Sorry, couldn't resist!

Seize the satellites & cancel the government contracts. I refuse to support any form of nationalization that includes paying anything to SpaceX. lease satellite usage back to Starlink for commercial use but taxpayers paid for all this shit in the first place. All new investments to NASA.

Nationalize it

Nationalized as critical infrastructure, ban the construction of new constellations by American companies and try to enact a treaty to cool the arms race of giant LEO constellations

I like my "nationalize SpaceX" proposal better, but sure

Seems like something that can/must be nationalized and integrated into the DOD directly. Anyone (and I mean anyone) in the private sector who works on it should have to submit to a rigorous national security review, plus probably drug screening.

just do a civil forfeiture on his stuff for all those suspected crimes he's done

Absolutely needs to be seized and nationalized. It's... useful for a good chunk of people who can't get broadband any other way (And obviously Ukraine was using it for good things), but yeah, Musk specifically should not own this.

Its truly beyond belief that nations military are using a system that can be shut off on the whim of one white supremacist.

Nationalize it immediately and tell him to fuck himself

I like to hope that if Musk tried to wield it against a dem president they wouldn't hesitate to nationalize it. That's the kind of thing that national security emergencies are actually FOR.

And countries like Canada, with a lot of very rural populations, NEED to make this a priority. The last few years have proven that we cannot rely on any service tainted with US influence.

reliance on any american service at this point is becoming a liability

Gemini won't tell you how many times Republicans have violated election tampering law in the last ten years. For "safety reasons." Reliance on AI is creating an enclosed eco-system that lets oligarchs define our reality. The threat is already here.

NATIONALIZE it Or break it up.

Nationalize it!

The EU, Russia, and China felt that way about GPS, and built their own (and a few other countries have done that as well.) For LEO data, Eutelsat, Amazon, Viasat, Telesat, Hughes, and others are out there, but Starlink had come in early and said "We'll help you out" so UKR's used it heavily.

We could also strip Musk of his companies and deport him. Either way works.

Amen, brother.

seized

“Your product has been known to shut off unexpectedly at particularly difficult times for national security. We therefore value it at $1. Enjoy your time before the federal judiciary.”

I lol'ed at the number of people with the same idea. Why reinvent the wheel when we can just screw Musk?

Have to get Rs out of the WH first. My guess is we're in for an outright war on democracy after a generational blue wave and it may take more than another election to remove them.

Vote to replace the president and both houses of congress with democrats, then nationalize Starlink for National Security. I believe it can be done with an Executive Order and a Sharpie.

Tesla and SpaceX were subsidized by all of our Federal, state, local taxes anyway Musk infamous government subsidy hacking: www.cnn.com/2026/06/13/b... www.lemonde.fr/en/economy/a...

That's been my position for a long time. It's for national security reasons.

Starlink is a spacex product

This is were you need the "Bill of Attainder", though you probably need to exclude his dependents to some extent - it's not their fault he's a drug-raddled racist and fascist.

Yeah as much as I think all of them are horrible people a US general did talk about how it was dangerous how much the US now relies on Musk

I like this better

For what he did to USAID alone, and all those it kept alive, he can rot in prison for the rest of his life.

Which nation you thinking? Coz that solves it not at all for the current issue, and not for anyone else for any future issues. May I nominate Aotearoa New Zealand? Consistently high in the corruption perceptions index, remote, not entrenched at the heart of any particular global sphere.

Maybe Kessler Syndrome will happen and the problem will just replace itself with a different problem
