The knives are out for Elon Musk.
But why, exactly?
There’s a big reason and a small reason.
The big reason is that he’s a powerful figure who isn’t under the control of the establishment.
When he saw how the establishment was using Twitter (in collusion with various government agencies, we now know) to suppress speech it didn’t like, he bought Twitter and put a stop to it.
Where just before the 2020 election, the establishment was able to shut down reporting from this paper about Hunter Biden’s laptop, now the establishment finds such censorship much harder.
That was unforgivable and
...
the establishment doesn’t trust any power center it cannot control.
...
It’s why college administrators are hostile to fraternities and why communist regimes control the churches.

Musk’s sheer effectiveness, in comparison to establishment failures on everything from COVID to Afghanistan to China, serves as a constant reproach.
Even the bid to “rein him in” is failing.
The effort to end-run his ownership of Twitter with Threads, a product of Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta, has been a flop.

...
Musk’s big problem is that he’s nobody’s tool.

Just more proof that we’re next.
the commies are in control
they are just solidifying their power
no dissent
resistance is futile
“The big reason is that he’s a powerful figure who isn’t under the control of the establishment.”
Now that sounds mighty familiar.

X Man Bad
I like the premise of what you say, but I think he must constantly compromising to get things done.
China has certainly imposed their own quid pro quo’s on Mr. Musk. And to keep government subsidies alive for electric cars, he’s had to bend to somebody else’s will.
But regardless, he appears to be on the side of freedom of speech and Trump is praising the man for liberating Twitter or X.
