I bet you didn't know this, but Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Max Levchin, and David Sacks produced "Thank You For Smoking," a movie about regulatory capture. Elon's been at war with the establishment for a long time.
@stillgray The story of how this got made is interesting. @DavidSacks ftw
@stillgray @DavidSacks If anything, the reality of lobbying is actually worse than the parody in the movie! The staggering scale of government waste is beyond comprehension.
@elonmusk @DavidSacks That’s becoming more and more evident now, with people like Nikki Haley and Mike Pompeo landing cushy gigs as lobbyists for various industries.
@stillgray @elonmusk @DavidSacks Indeed, the revolving door between politics and lobbying is a concerning trend. Transparency and accountability are more crucial than ever in ensuring ethical governance.
