The Contrarian
Abstract
Big picture: It is, of course, absurd to rely on Elon Musk to recognize and respond to his own conflicts of interest. As far as I can gauge, Musk does not even recognize that he is not an elected official. Even if he had been, the only place in the federal government that relies on officials to police their own conflicts is the Supreme Court…and, well, we know how that has turned out.
