@YorkieBarNone @MerrynSW @WMPolice it's exactly the same in all large *private* organisations too. All large organisations are "establishments", where you can only get on if you fit in and "toe the line".

@GaryMarcus A serious question: What should Humanity do with Individuals who seriously threaten its existence?

[Nick Healey :: "xkcd 386" @nhealey]

@GaryMarcus i think Musk simply means "after (&if) Trump wins the election" - because Musk will then be Trump's PR ("Truth") Arm, and in return Trump's US Govt will indeed protect and further Musk's business interests, however Musk wishes.
