This is kinda what trump wants. If the government cant handle "online stuff" they can pitch privatization. It hurts more if tech megacorps get hacked. Though at this point I wou'd laugh if a bunch of internet nerds got the nuclear codes or locked up a bunch of satellites
It kind of already is privatized. Most of the government's cyber security efforts are handled by defense contractors.
Imagine if one nuclear head was pointed to every megacorp headquarters in the US.
Ceo residences would do better. Force them all to live in the office hellscape they created.
Don't point at the HQs, point at their mansions / golf courses / private islands
