While on the surface elon appears to be doing things, he is just helping to usher in the technocratic dystopia from the other side (assuming left-right politics, from the right)

No matter who wins, it's going to lead to more surveillance and reduced freedoms, either overtly (via the left based on current day trends) or nuanced (via the right). Ultimately both socialist political groups

That he's been allowed to be so public and not instantly offed or disappeared is quite a strong case for him being controlled. Or if you want to give him the benefit of the doubt, he's unwittingly nudging things along in the direction the oligarchs want

He still is a big supporter of government-run nations as the orthodox; the way the world operates at present, so that is untrustworthy in my eyes
