    No, that’s counterproductive because the government uses those services. Instead, the government could confiscate his stock in those companies.

      SpaceX would probably be more profitable if they didn’t have to spend so much time and resources on preventing Musk from interfering with things.

        It’s mostly Tesla and Twitter that he’s wrecking, but yeah Shotwell does sometimes rescue SpaceX from terrible ideas he has, like canceling Falcon Heavy.

          Twitter was wrecked with the purchase, it’s been on borrowed time since. The business is now worth less than the $13bn loan it took out to buy itself on Musk’s behalf. It was a leveraged buyout, just like every business that goes under after “being saddled with debt”.
