He looks and sounds like that kind of a person. Great for a business that is in trouble.

Not good for a head of government. Government is a kind of utility, not a risky manufacturing opportunity.

Elon Musk does not run a utility. He can cut out people in his industry and lose maybe some government contracts. But when he cut out government employees, he opened us up to viruses like ebola. Trump in his first term cut out our people in China a few months before covid came out.

He is also a bit creepy looking.
