It’s a long read but a good one. The man is so scandal-plagued and somehow gains more power despite it.

Pretty misleading headline, though the article is interesting and worth a read. Provides a pretty balanced view of Elon's story to date.
Regarding the govt and his influence within it, I see it more as a judgement on the govt. Time they get their shit together, things have been receding for decades.

ikr the first part of the article is like: nobody paid Starlink at first, and then they did. The rest of the article is just a vaguely ominous bio.
