Elon Musk has no accountability. He has effective control over the boards of his companies. Shareholders know that the value of their shares is predicated largely on this one man, so removing him would destroy their value.

Government could hold him accountable, and some of those gears have been turning over the last decade. In response he has spent a lot of money trying to steer elections and gain the influence of the ones in power to try to avoid accountability from that direction as well.

The double standard is that if you play capitalism well enough you are shielded from the consequences that others would face.
