2/ i agree with a lot of the points made - and that is why I oppose it. Its strengths are its weakness!
it WILL be the world's largest company. Every engineer, scientist etc. WILL want to work there. It WILL advance the move to occupy Mars.

3/ BUT the world's largest company will be stronger than states. It will also be (one of?) the world's largest monopoly, that would be hard to compete with.
