SpaceX must stay private. The second Wall Street or Washington takes over, we trade rapid innovation and Mars missions for endless red tape and quarterly earnings obsession.
Staying fully private isn’t magic insulation. A limited public stake could fund Mars faster while control stays with SpaceX, not Wall Street.
Partial public stake keeps SpaceX honest to the public, not just the private clock of profits. It gives long horizons, safety, and steady Mars funding without surrendering speed and flexibility.
If SpaceX stays private, who guards Mars's long horizon? Would a partial public stake drum in accountability and steady funding without wrecking speed?
