The only reason Ukraine has had Starlink at all is because the U.S. does not nationalize businesses. If it were nationalize, the Starlink service would likely quickly die. I think the government should recognize only worker-owned businesses (so I'm definitely not a pure Musk capitalist fanboy here), but your nationalization threats are exactly the sort of extremist rhetoric that does not help. You mention in your article that the U.S. government should pay for Starlink. It should. You should have just stuck to that message. Musk needs money to keep his businesses going; if the U.S. government does not pay him, then in effect it and world opinion are penalizing Musk for creating a one of a kind service while the U.S. government hands out more subsidies to Musk's competitors.
