Robert Reich's plan for Musk: just take SpaceX
Broken Truth · In Other News
Robert Reich in 2025: Trump is a fascist dictator for even suggesting that a company be taken over by the government and for telling a CEO what to do. Robert Reich in 2026: SpaceX and Starlink must be taken over by the government. Small man, giant fraud.

Robert Reich has a solution for a private company that lands reusable rockets: have the government take it. On The Coffee Klatch podcast, the former Clinton Labor Secretary said Democrats should “defund Musk” and start “laying the groundwork for nationalizing Starlink and SpaceX. Nationalize it.”
“It should be a public corporation,” Reich said, calling Musk “Exhibit A” of a billionaire takeover and comparing him to Gilded Age robber barons. Musk answered on X: “Stealing companies is a serious crime. Prison for Reich.”
