If I were president in 2029, I’d use my unitary executive rights and official acts to take Tesla, spacex, x, and starlink and sell them to American born billionaires, or turn them into employee owned Co-ops.

This dude couldn’t give a fuck about America. It’s just a layover for him, he doesn’t care if the country fails, so long as he gets richer.

Edit: changed could to couldn’t.

Employee owned companies largely do well...

Something about aligning incentives.

They don't do well at making generational wealth for a couple families.

I like shopping at Winco over Walmart because Winco is employee owned.

This is part of why the us is fucked. Even in the wildest dreams of many, the only solution that can be imagined is selling companies to other billionaires or the people who just so happen to work for the company at the time, as if it isn't the wealth of society that gives these particular companies essentially all of their value whatsoever.
