Elon fulfills the role of an asset. Rolling out new technology to be managed and regulated, while simultaneously defending and maintaining a psy op. His leash won't go much further than smoking the devils lettuce to cultivate followers or seemingly supporting 'alternative' causes. Parks a car with a dummy in orbit and declares 'You can tell it's real because it looks so fake.' Technology is great, until it's pointed in the wrong direction or becomes a tool of the elite.
