He's not immune from a coup. There is always a line.

I have no love for Boening...but I don't want SpaceX responsible for US Spaceflight.

No. I mean the military. The brass are generally very well educated and understand the relationship between the military and the civilian side of a state.
That civ-mil relationship is the military agreeing to not interfere so long as certain standards are upheld. They don't swear an oath to the president, they swear it to the constitution. And the upper military leadership understands that by and large. Once that constitutional order is threatened OR the military itself is threatened, that agreement is broken and all bets are off.

I was excited about New Glenn and hoped they could get a crew rated capsule, but then I remembered who owned Blue Origin.

He's completely immune. Not only did the Supreme Court say so but no one who could take him down has any interest in taking him down. He can do whatever the hell he wants, whenever the hell he wants.

Boeing has become a joke; a shell of its former self, with all divisions run by a line of McDonnell Douglas bean-counters ever since Alan Mulally left to try and fix Ford.
That said, privatizing the US space program and handing all development over to SpaceX would be infinitely worse.

The Constitutional order has been under threat since Jan 6th 2021.

"Scoob? Hi, this is your doctor again. You need to go outside and shovel. And when you're done, you should walk to the nearest park bench and sit without your phone for 30 minutes. Doctor's orders."

You think the military is going to overthrow Trump? I don't know what types of drugs you are on but hook a brother up!

2/1 Elon uses the WH to pressure a sale of Boeing to him.

That's not what I said.
What I said is there's a line. If Trump tried to actually invade Canada, for example, that would result in his removal.

No. That would result in the removal of any military leaders who say no.

Why? They can write off the losses for tax purposes and SpaceX can pick up a couple rockets for pennies on the dollar.

As much as Elmo is a shit sandwich, if he gets us to transfer the entire military and social welfare budget to space I am for it.
Our only hope it to get FTL and get away from Dump's flaccid fucks. Columbus was a POS, too. We could be outta here by 2050. It's worth 7B deaths. Sod the proles.

Just do it. Same reason he bought Twitter. To vanquish competition and show that despite his terrible hair plus, his Beluga Whale shaped (and colored) body and his not even be able to play video games that he is still a man. Plus the name has value...
