we’re not going to nationalize the entire economy because that’s really stupid.

Yes, that's why no one in this entire thread suggested anything even remotely close to this. it's stupid, and a stupid strawman.

Nationalizing spaceX temporarily in order to restore confidence in it's largest, most important customer, after that customer's trust has been repeatedly violated by the executive and the board that keeps him in power, is NOT NATIONALIZING THE ENTIRE ECONOMY nor would it be untoward if Boeing or Lockheed's CEO was dumb enough to engage in this bullshit.
