I didn't say anything about the government forcing Elon from his companies -- losing his security clearance seems like a reasonable outcome of his proclivities driving his instability.
As for the rest -- I don't think his choices are consistent with CEO leadership roles across the companies he's in. Twitter & Tesla have issues, Tesla's largely revolving around AutoPilot & FSD -- and eventually the market and/or Boards and/or his creditors will see a change in the risk and ROI of his leadership.
SpaceX seems to run pretty smoothly. Elon's halo is massive, and the lift he provided to Tesla and the EV market, in particular, can't be underestimated. But, IMO, there's no way this ends smoothly and happily, 10 years hence, given how he's acting in at least the Twitter corner of his field.
As for the previous leadership at Twitter and their censorship / collusion with governments -- yeah, that sucked, but it grants Elon nothing at all. Different shit, different day.
It should be obvious to anyone who has an education and even the faintest understanding of what is freedom , what is living in a democracy. but I guess when you had everything handed over you and did not have to fight for it you don't need to learn about the past and your life is just a permanent present where your actions and thoughts are based on your surroundings rather than on facts, history, beliefs. the previous twitter (in his last years) was an FBI cover operated by politicians that had a clear agenda and always censored voices that were against them INCLUDING the POTUS that like it or not had millions of american voices behind him. Even if you don't like the guy at least you should acknowledge that banning is against everything that freedom stands for. I don't understand why the opinion is not 50/50 on this. If Musk was a hardcore democrat he'd be praised in HN...
Another example of that btw is Julian Assange, he was praised as a hero until he revealed some corruption in the side of the 'good guys' since then he is a russian agent and evil....
I think the workers of those companies and consumers who buy their products would likely be better off if Musk's behavior wasn't a liability dragging it down.
It seems like the market will remove him from power soon, but the state could probably do it more efficiently.
Not sure if the person 'embarrassed' to drive a Tesla has looked into the history of other car companies.
