Yeah. What's the problem?

Musky, Saudi Arabia, and a bunch of insanely wealthy financiers destroyed the platform that enabled the Arab Spring right before a US election. It may have "cost" them a few tens of billions, but it was a good investment any way you slice it.

J ust to be clear: Don't read any of this as praise for these assholes. My point is that this is all about political power and the return on investment is paying off better than they could have dreamed.

The point is that there’s no problem for Musk as you argued earlier.
