The sad fact is that it needs to be torn down as well. Musk has already started this in the last week with the war of words with the ISS astronauts and the cancellation of the NASA next gen rockets. He also is saber rattling the Ukrainians with Starlink service dismissal. This highlights to world governments that a Starlink competitor is a top security priority. Sure Musk gets four years to tear apart NASA, but that will have a lot of consequences. I predict that Bezos's rocket companies and others will start to get substantial support from EU and japanese and other funding sources. Musk may in theory become radioactive enough that SpaceX loses private and world government contracts that it gets seriously crunched even with preferential treatment from the Trump administration. If I were the EU, I would drop billions of dollars to pick off as many SpaceX rocket engineers as possible and relocate them to the EU and have them recreate SpaceX rockets in a european company. Kick off the inevitable economic cold war between the EU and USA. Heck, you can relocate them to Vancouver, I'm sure Canada would play ball at this point. I was a starlink customer practically from day one, and I'm cancelling my service this month. It's sad.
