Interview: Elon Musk, Marc Andreessen, et al say:
"I'll just spend hundreds of millions of dollars to buy the government outright... I can then have the government reward me with billions of dollars of contracts".
If the SEC, FTC or anyone else "is investigating my companies... I can just tell them to knock it off, & they'll do it."
20 years ago, Musk couldn't do that. But then SCOTUS said "we'll allow it."
