You’re welcome. Sorry if I came on too strong. I get very tired of oligarch apologists claiming Musk, Bezos, Gates and co. all “made it on their own.” Starting just after FDRs death the oligarchs have been whittling away at workers’ power, and starting in the 1960s with injecting big money into politics. The result is the neo-feudalism the US has today.

The fact that Musk can be the head of/ largest stockholder of three huge companies in three markets is a problem in and of itself, very similar to the problems I pointed out about Amazon, which also exist for Microsoft, and Google, and Apple. Where is 2020 Teddy Roosevelt?
