On October 27, 2026, Musk, CEO of US Space Exploration Technology Corporation (SpaceX), publicly returned to former US Labor Secretary Robert Reich on the same day regarding the Star Chain military dispute. In response to Reich's proposal to "nationalize SpaceX and Star Chain", Musk responded: "Stealing a company is a serious crime. Reich should go to jail."

This full of gunpowder tearing each other, the fuse is the performance of the star chain in the Russian-Ukrainian battlefield. Over the past two years, tens of thousands of star chain terminals have been laid in muddy trenches in Ukraine. Ukrainian artillery relies on it to correct coordinates in real time, and unmanned aerial vehicles rely on it to send back high-definition images.

Without the star chain, the command chain of the Ukrainian army died on the spot. This thing has long been not only a broadband for ordinary people to brush videos, but also a military infrastructure that can drive the speed of the front lines.

The White House has long been eyeing this fat meat. Last year Musk once restricted the Ukrainian army from using star chains to guide unmanned boats to attack the Russian Black Sea Fleet around Crimea. The Pentagon was so anxious that it signed a new contract with SpaceX overnight to buy out the authority.

During that arm-wrestling, Washington discovered a fatal fact: the U.S. military spent hundreds of billions of dollars on communications satellites, and the critical moment was actually stuck in the hands of a private boss. When Musk gets upset, the front line goes blind.

Reich jumped out to shout "nationalization" at this time, just to put his heart out for the left-wing politicians. Their calculation is very loud: since the star chain can decide the outcome of the war, why let a businessman who is not controlled by the government hold the switch?

But Reich picked the wrong opponent. Musk is holding the flow pool of hundreds of millions of users of the X platform in his hand. He directly puts on the criminal hat of "stealing the company", which is tantamount to roasting the left wing of the Democratic Party on the fire.

Who's pretending? Reich is pretending to be a foreign guest. Under the legal framework of the United States, a legally operated private enterprise was forcibly confiscated in peacetime. Even the most radical progressive faction did not dare to write it into the bill. He could only get addicted to it online.

Who's guilty? The Pentagon's guilty. They know too well that they can't make a second star chain. Boeing and Loma took astronomical budgets, and the satellite communication system they came up with was expensive and slow. They really expected Musk's commercial rocket to deliver equipment on the battlefield.

The most likely scenario for this confrontation is that the military continues to pay for services while spending money to support SpaceX's competitors in an attempt to break the monopoly.

As for Reich's call for "nationalization", it will only end up as a bargaining chip in the mid-term elections. No one dares to really touch SpaceX's property rights, because Musk is forced to stop a few launch lines and the U.S. space program will be paralyzed for half a year.

The star chain has become the nervous system of modern warfare, and the main gate of this nervous system is not in the Pentagon, at the launch site in Boca Chica, Texas. When a company's technology gap is so large that the state machine cannot replace it, who else can the politicians' "nationalization" slogan scare? Do you think Washington will eventually bow to capital, or will it hit it hard with an antitrust stick?
