There is a long history in the US of white supremacists accepting the trade-off of having less economic dynamism if it means restoring racial hierarchies. Musk, as a privileged child of South African apartheid, also operates within this mentality.
“Musk and his partners’ overall stake has shed $24 billion in value — a vaporization of wealth that has little parallel outside the realm of economic or industry-specific crashes, or devastating corporate scandals.”

Today I wrote about an FTC Commissioner's batshit crazy statements arguing that the FTC can punish any social media company that doesn't follow Elon's lead in how it moderates. Also it can punish advertisers for not advertising on X.

Many political extremists in the US and abroad mock the idea of "academic freedom." But it's actually been codified in Western institutions for centuries. It's much older than modern declarations of rights, and should hold equal legitimacy. 1/7
