This is...just...wow. Your argument boils down to being unable to trust any company that works with dangerous materials.

How do we know Dow Chemical isn't going to make a huge poison bomb and hold the country hostage? What about Lockheed Martin creating their own private army to take over the US and sabotaging all of the equipment they sell to the government? Maybe Boeing will threaten to crash brand new 777s into buildings all across the US unless we pay a ransom? SpaceX doesn't even have to capture an asteroid, they build something that easily has the capabilities of an ICBM already!

Supervillian schemes rarely make any sense in the real world. You get a lot more money by just commercializing the tech and selling it normally. Plus you don't have the army knocking at your door and pesky superheroes ruining your day.
