    Move demonstrates Musk’s growing influence in Washington

    It demonstrates the growing influence of EVERY billionaire in Washington DC ever since the courts accepted the “corporations are people / money is speech” arguments.

    When that happened, the government stopped representing the needs of ordinary people and only represented the needs of billionaires and their lobbyists. It’s taking a long time to play out, but it’s going to end badly.

      “corporations are people / money is speech”

      I don’t know when they stopped teaching the novel 1984 in U.S. high school curriculum but that evidently happened a while ago.
