I agree with your logic 100%... but are SpaceX's rockets ITAR? I legit dont know. If they were eventually going to hold a nuke on the tip or used as Space Force transpo, I wouldn't bother asking. I just haven't heard DoD interest yet, but I've also not paid too close of an eye on the matter... as I live in viewing distance of rocket launches... god damn they're annoying at this point. Then again, NASA usage... is that instant ITAR stamp too?
But some backdoor US influence to say,"Hey, that country? Yea, fuck those guys. They dont get to use shit." I see that as a possibility.
- Badfood 6y agoITAR is surprisingly broad. It covers a lot of stuff that no one cares is restricted, but that just gets ignored.
- Ajedi32 6y agoI think it's pretty safe to assume that any device that could be converted into an ICBM with minimal effort would be covered under ITAR.

- NoOneNew 6y agoAlright, nevermind then. I see the ITAR rubberstamp is nicely well warn over there. ITAR all the things.
- cryptonector 6y ago> but are SpaceX's rockets ITAR? I legit dont know. The technology absolutely is classified. Elon can't reincorporate in Mexico or any other country and take the knowledge and know-how and plans and workers with him. He could go and start from scratch, but there's a good chance that the U.S. would treat that as espionage or worse.
