I will say that the good thing about Elon is that he admits when he is wrong. He was totally naive about government. Now he knows. Some people think he was all good and some people think he was all bad. Obviously someone is wrong here and the truth is probably somewhere in the middle.

I think we can agree that there is a debt problem that needs to be fixed. I doubt that will happen anytime soon given the political divide. We need a pragmatic middle of the road approach, but we are seriously no where close to that approach. [/quote]

I give Musk no credit for recognizing that government is hard and different than what he knows.  On the contrary, his 'error' is a reflection of his horribly, vastly outsized ego.  He imagined that he and his minions are the smartest people in the world, and everyone in government is idiots.  Had he an ounce of humility, he had a plenty of information at his fingertips to the contrary.

His hubris and recklessness is unforgiveable.[/quote]

I agree and what is so galling is that he will suffer no consequences from this. He’s gained from this experience (while doing untold damage to our government) since he has been able to award himself billions in government contracts. He loves government spending— for himself!

Meanwhile, he has quite literally ruined lives. He has set back scientific progress. He has almost destroyed the nonpartisan civil service, which this country built over 100 years. There were other actors helping him but he was the catalyst for this tremendous damage.

It was a complete self-inflicted wound, an “own goal” on this country. Shameful, absolutely shameful. [/quote]

That’s not true!  He will lose his job in May.[/quote]
