If we ever get a Democrat administration, the very first thing they must do is cancel all SpaceX contracts immediately, no matter the consequence to NASA timelines.

I don't care if there's a Falcon on the launch pad. I don't care that it's a "contract". Stop all cash day 1. Let them sue.

I'd rather Elon get kicked out and spacex continue doing its work than close it down. they literally offer cheaper costs for launching (the stuff in the article is caused by revolving doors and such), and theyve done some incredible things for the space industry

Elon getting kicked out doesn't change that for every $1 that goes to SpaceX, $0.42 goes to Musk which he will continue to use to overthrow Democracy.
