It should. Musk leans heavily fascist and loves putler.

Honestly even of he was a great guy it's still a bad idea to have an incredibly important military asset in the hands of a private corporation.

Absolutely.

It's SpaceX's assets, they launched them. The Air Force has the ability to put up their own and they haven't.
