    The Ultra Rich Guy and his pet project should be held to the same standards that are affecting regular people and organizations.

    Especially if we want those standards to change, giving the politically-powerful special privileges to ignore the rules is bad! It makes reform less likely to occur, rather than more, and encourages other problems like regulatory capture and selective prosecution.

    Those guys announced which side they were on on inauguration day, and let [redacted] line up them like subservient vassals. They’re not afraid of Musk, they’re aligned with him.

      I especially enjoyed that image of all of them lined up with Zuckerberg rather obviously staring down / admiring Lauren Sanchez voluptuous "twin peaks". I wonder if he caught any flack later on from his wife ?
