Segunda Mão S.A

We're constantly told that America's national security depends on protecting our technological superiority. Then along come the self-appointed guardians of that superiority, demanding government control over one of the companies actually delivering it. What an absolutely breathtaking betrayal of common fucking sense. SpaceX has revolutionized rocket launches, made reusable boosters routine, restored American crewed launches from American soil, and built satellite infrastructure vital to national security. Yet Jonathan V. Last is entertaining nationalization, breakup, or aggressive regulation, while Robert Reich continues his crusade against Elon Musk. Apparently, America's greatest technological achievements become problems requiring government intervention when the wrong billionaire produces them. And that's where the whole sanctimonious charade starts smelling like political bullshit. Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, and RTX occupy enormous positions within America's defense infrastructure. Where's the comparable enthusiasm for nationalizing them? Where's the sudden moral panic about their private ownership? Instead, the spotlight falls on Musk, whose purchase of Twitter infuriated the same ideological circles now expressing such exquisite concern about his influence. What a conveniently selective set of principles. Consider the monumental arrogance required to watch SpaceX accomplish feats once considered nearly impossible, then decide its future belongs in the hands of Washington's political machinery. These people preach American innovation while contemplating interventions that could suffocate it. They invoke competition with China while flirting with measures that could weaken an extraordinary American advantage. And they expect applause for their fucking patriotism? This is precisely how a nation squanders its strengths: political resentment gets dressed up as strategic wisdom, ideological hostility becomes a governing philosophy, and successful enterprises find themselves threatened with extraordinary intervention for attracting the wrong enemies. The stakes extend far beyond Musk. Every entrepreneur watching this spectacle receives the same chilling message about what happens when extraordinary success collides with establishment contempt. America's technological leadership deserves something better than political score-settling masquerading as national-security expertise. Because nothing exposes the grotesque arrogance of these self-appointed guardians quite (article below)
