The problem for me is that Musk is an unreliable partner to any government. He is for sale to the highest bidder that strokes his ego.
But I guess that is a risk the feds will have to deal with in due time.
Honestly I waiting for the moment when a Musk stunt on Twitter gets Space X banned from government contract until the boot the Muppet.
The US gov can take control of the constellation through the Defense Production Act and they can even jail or remove musk if he doesn't comply. In the event of an actual war, assuming the constellation doesn't get shot down, it wouldn't be a problem.
Yeah. Part of me has to wonder what -- if any -- backchanneled agreements there are between Glynn Shotwell and the DoD for if/when Musk does something truly compromising.
Doubt that or he wouldn't be where he is at
