    True. And there was almost certainly a closed door meeting in which DJT threatened to bankrupt him, seize Starlink in the name of security,
    outlaw use of X, remove any subsidies, and have him prosecuted for
    [something] unless Nazimusk does a fully public shit-eat. And here we
    are.

    seize Starlink in the name of security

    "The 1952 steel strike, which led to the Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co.
    v. Sawyer case, was a major event in American history involving
    President Truman and the steel industry. Truman, citing national
    security during the Korean War, ordered the seizure of the steel mills
    to prevent a strike that would have disrupted vital war production.
    However, the Supreme Court ultimately ruled that Truman's action was unconstitutional, limiting the president's power to seize private
    property without congressional authorization. "
