What's the remedy to Musk's supposedly "excess" power? Tolerate government's efforts to silence what they don't like to read? Nationalize X? Sic the regulators on him?

FP has bristled against all that, regularly, so I find this bit a bit dissonant.

The cure must not be worse than the purported problem.

It seems like his companies have been affected to some degree by the reversal of public opinion on the guy. (Believe it or not, Musk used to be an uncomplicated hero in the public imagination.)

I think that's the point in discussing him. Most media doesn't present as balanced a perspective as the FP though.
