What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Calls for government ownership of Elon Musk's companies, such as SpaceX and Starlink, were made by former Clinton Labor Secretary Robert Reich. This rhetoric occurred amid political clashes between Gavin Newsom and Donald Trump, whose trade war policies put exports at risk. Separately, California's Proposition 40 billionaire tax could raise less than $100 billion if wealthy residents leave the state before the vote.
