  • Even if the judges decide to bar Musk and his cronies from government systems, I don’t expect they would simply comply. They know that if they just keep going, the judges have to be the ones scrambling to catch up. It’s a deliberate tactic of moving so fast that the mechanisms of checks and balances become de facto irrelevant. It reminds me of what the Israeli military always did, creating “facts on the ground” while the international community discussed how things should be arranged. By the time the discussions concluded, the conclusion would be irrelevant to the reality. By the time the law catches up, Musk will have done what he set out to do. And he knows as well as anyone how difficult it is to enforce any law against the richest man in the world.
