One lesson from the Trump-Musk feud--made plain from Musk's (now withdrawn) threat about SpaceX--is that privatizing the nation's critical resources allows the very wealthy to threaten to withhold or undermine those resources at their every frustration or misguided assumption.

In other words, the nation's business and its progress are at risk from such a "public-private partnership".

Obviously we still need to learn that lesson.

In principle I still believe in public-private partnerships. But not when we're talking about our astronauts in space, military communications satellites, etc.

@TechBean Yes. That is what I was referring to--any single-source, non-competitive resource that would be critical to our nation's well-being.
