From a political standpoint, privatization of space is probably for the best. Some people are automatically fearful of anything a private company does as if government entities were beyond reproach. There's probably nothing evil that Musk could do in space that a government couldn't do. Privatization in this case should have the effect of diffusing access to space which I should think was an overwhelmingly good thing. Unless you expect him to pull a Moonraker, I don't really see the problem. Also consider, a lot of what happens in space is already accomplished through private companies. Lockheed and Boeing already launch most US military satellites. SpaceX really is just another launch company. They provide competition for government monopolies. That's probably a good thing.
