The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, after being accused by Tesla CEO Elon Musk this week of conducting a “harassment campaign” against him, has responded with a reminder to Musk that this level of federal scrutiny was part of the deal he agreed to after his shitposting landed him in hot water.

Not to mention that the source of this quote is an anonymous “top Washington space lobbyist.”
The (admittedly limited) experience that I’ve had in the sphere of space policy has convinced me that the opinions of anyone described as such should be taken with a HUGE grain of salt, and more often than not disregarded.

Do you really think he cares or that it’s more performative for him? Given the work environment at his companies that clearly comes from the top down, I’m guessing stuff like this is more performative than any sort of genuine gesture. If he cared about other people (or as I’m sure he sees it “the little people”) he would not have horrible working environments for his employees.
