    I am from the US, and Musk doesn’t actually have the power to do anything, so I’m much more concerned about Trump, who does have the power to do things. Trump is largely following Musk’s recommendations, probably without a second thought, and that’s a much bigger problem than whatever Musk is doing.

    On the scale of things I care about, billionaires are pretty far down there, and the POTUS is pretty far up there.

      I think your though process is on the right track but it seems like you think you’re done evaluating things way too quickly.

      Musk may not explicitly have the power to do anything, but as we know Trump doesn’t give a fuck about the rules and Musk is his right hand man.

      I’d argue that Musk does indeed have the power by proxy to do whatever he wants. Billionaires are licking Trump’s boots the world over right now… Maybe keep that in mind moving forward.
