8. A Lot Of Big Business Types Distrust Government & Government Regulation (Meddling)

My bet would be Elon has a strong distaste for government oversight or meddling in "his" business. His steps to "defend" tfg are just an extension of his dislike for anyone else telling him what to do or challenging his decisions.

For me, one can not rail against the evils of big government without addressing the "evils" of big business. Elon is a great example of "to big to make mistakes". If you or I lost as much capital/net worth for our poor business decisions we'd be out on the street. I don't mind capitalism or free market as long as it applies equally to all participants. Once your business reaches a certain size you basically define your own reality. The rest of us small folks who get in these folks way just get squashed.
