How anyone that values democracy in the United States could support any of Elon's ventures is difficult to understand.
Judging by Elon's staggering success in all of his ventures I'd say you're out of touch.
He has had many failures, SolarCity and xAI and X and DOGE to name a few, but he has often bailed them out with his larger ventures.Even with his successes (Tesla, SpaceX) he has built them up in large part by bending levers of government to his advantage.
