Great insight, thank you. We in PA see the flaws of the touted benefits on a Public-Private Partnership everytime we drive across the Turnpike at an astronomical cost. Things will only get worse if we allow public services to be privatized, and monopolies to emerge (looking at you, Albertsons and Kroger; Charter and Cox).
Excellent piece, Emily, reminding us to keep our eye on the important aspects of Musk's empire--such as the fact that, worldwide, his Starlink comms company is now so critically important to military actions, that he can exert almost unlimited influence over sovereign nations at war. Not to mention that he now owns our private data and can deploy that, too, for who knows what purpose. We can trash Tesla dealerships, but all this is beyond our power to face alone. Urge people to keep writing and calling their Senators and Congressmen. This, people, is a war we're involved in. And our enemies are a lot like Trump and Musk--the seen and the unseen ones. Stay alert, stay safe, stay non-violent, and stay active.
