"The power Musk wields was not inevitable. There were many opportunities along the way to expose who he was and to hold his companies accountable for breaking rules and making fraudulent promises. Indeed, some people tried. But time and again, far too many journalists at mainstream publications decided those aspects of his career didn’t belong in the accepted narrative about his brilliance and lawmakers chose to look the other way in the hope he would boost economic prospects and provide them electoral gains. Now the United States — and the world — have to live with the consequences of those decisions, and the people responsible for them should be held to account.

If you thought we were already living in a tech dystopia these past few years, it’s time to buckle up. You haven’t seen anything yet."
