I think it's a real pity that of the "four boxes of liberty", Musk has interfered with the first three: soap, Twitter; ballot, the lawsuits about million dollar rewards for voting; jury, selecting his jurisdiction, dismantling enforcement institutions via DOGE. On the plus side, it's only "interfered with" rather than "completely eliminated". Still, glad I have an ocean between me and the USA.
