haha what? The government has negative interest in purchasing a social media company.

I’m not saying any reasonable government would be buying services from Musk at this point but so far he is doing fine for probably more than one perverse reason.

Again, extrapolate mid/long-term with “new” Republicans (don’t care about small gov at this point) potentially winning next election(s) and him providing an “AI” enabled personal interface for every US citizen… what could go wrong?

It’s a natural sell / setup for “we must win against evil empire of China, be as efficient, yaddayadda”.

It's not because of Musk that this particular hypothesis doesn't make sense, this is just not something that the US government has any interest in touching with a million foot pole.
