Musk is an American oligarch, a brilliant marketing/confidence man who has made his fortune playing with government subsidies and venture capital. He is sensitive to the will of the DC pols and blob in the same way as the rest of the SiVal oligarchs.
When Zukkerberg so dramatically gave testimony to Congress he had an epiphany. a) FB can no longer sustain the idea that it is a neutral tech platform. b) The feds can ruin FB by regulating it either enforcing exiting laws or making new ones, and explicitly threaten to. c) The Democratic Party and many in the permanent bureaucracy (especially the spys and political police) publicly push an argument that Russia rigged the election of Trump using something called Fake News that spread on FB etc.
In what way is Musk immune to the same kind of pressure? I'm curious to see the reaction of the pols and the blob.
