Elon Muskā€™s Shadow Rule
www.newyorker.com
How the U.S. government came to rely on the tech billionaireā€”and is now struggling to rein him in.

I debated posting this, because itā€™s not near 100% about SpaceX. But itā€™s over 50% about SpaceX and Starlink, I think, and it touches on the problem when a government depends on one private individual for several areas, especially when that individual starts to go strongly against government policy. Itā€™s pretty even handed, in my opinion.

    Interesting read, thanks for sharing. Well, itā€™s no secret that Musk derailed during COVID, and never came back on track.
