Elon Musk has gained a concerning level of power over US national security | Robert Reich
With SpaceX, Starlink and X, Musk has more foreign policy sway than probably any unelected person in US history
more concerning is that he has the mental maturity of a five year old. If CEOs pressing the nuclear missile buttons in the Fallout series seemed like an exaggeration, look at Elon and think again.
Vault Tec starting the war was by far the most realistic part of the story. Even when it was revealed in the games, long before the series, my reaction was "Duh".
Horizon Zero Dawn did a really good study on the ego of a tech billionaire.
What if he is not mentally a 5 year old but people keep letting him do what he wants and he is trying to keep pushing that envelope.
Him acting like a 5 year old and getting away with it is also on society imo.

Yup, and yet america will not do anything
Maybe a citizen will.
Two already tried.

Immigrants, amirite?
This is conjecture but don't Teslas record everything around them. Couldn't that be a form of distributed surveillance/botnet or something?

There are privacy options to opt in to this, but it's not on by default.
Assuming you can trust the options anyway.
Edit: I do think it will share the video in the event of an accident or vehicle break in though even when not opted in.
That's even more terrifying.
Even if Tesla itself doesn't do that, it's something to be concerned about in case a vulnerability is found that allows remote access to the camera's (or worse any local video recordings that may exist).
The company "flock safety" operates license plate cameras across the country. They allow any subscribing law enforcement agency to access all of the data. I believe this includes agencies in foreign countries.
And if he ever tries to screw over the country by threatening US national security or blackmailing over it, I hope the relevant 3 letter agencies come knocking on his door one night, whisking him away to a place nobody will ever see him again.
Nah, nationalize his shit right out from under him, draft his executives and explain to them the terms Chain of Command and UCMJ. That's the kind of thing billionaires are actually afraid of.

Ooh, we wanna take him to Guantanamo Take him there fast Where he'll get tortured slow That's where we want him to go Way down to Guantanamo
He's rich enough to get several warnings before someone maybe considers bringing charges against him.
Looking into this
The whole country is conserning
