Lets say SpaceX lands on Mars and Elon claims Mars as "his". Neither the United States nor any other government has the means to do a damned thing about if we don't have the means to get to Mars ourselves! That means Mars is now corporate owned!

Oh..... but wait a minute. SpaceX is a US based company and is subject to US law. We can't directly touch their colony on Mars but we can make it impossible for SpaceX to communicate, profit from, or resupply said Martian colony.
