It's more important to think of role players like Musk as controlled assets rather than individuals motivated by ideology or values.

So the question is who controls Musk. The answer should be based on how much damage he is actually doing to the DS agenda. There comes a point where an actor does too much damage to the opponent to be considered a double agent.

Plus, the DS has no sense of humor, and Elon does, which has me leaning toward him being a white hat.
