I disagree with this line of thought. Spacex took a big risk to get to where they are, just because they happen to have pulled it off and it provides some “public benefit” doesn’t mean it should just be taken from them. And if it’s buy out that still doesn’t solve the problem because people value things completely differently.

This stifles innovation and the willingness to take on risk for a reward down the road. If you actually pull it off and reach some level of “public benefit” it could just be taken from you.

Is Amazons same day delivery of medications a “public benefit”?
