I am. I'm only kept around so long as my work feels I am worth it.

At SpaceX in particular, Musk is a resident owner. Not an employee. You don't entrust someone with ownership of something they've always owned. This isn't some inheritance.

And a job isn't your means. Especially not in this case.

According to Cersei in game of thrones, power is power. The government has power and they know how to exercise it.
