One of Musk’s buddies, billionaire Jared Isaacman, who has flown twice to space with SpaceX, is President Trump’s nominee to become the next head of NASA.

Does the US actually ‘own’ the ISS enough to do that? I thought it was internationally run
Nope, NASA is cooperatively invested with the European Space Agency, Canadian Space Agency, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, and Roscosmos (Russia).
There is a legal framework that covers all this. Whether dipshit Donnie and fElon and their lapdog government acknowledge that is another matter entirely.
The area with thrusters is owned by the Russians. They couldn’t deorbit without their help anyway.
Guessing that fElon would rush-job the Dragon deorbit capsule SpaceX is developing. Which would probably end up with the ISS cratering in a populated area.
