The unfortunate corollary to that reasoning: Elons shenanigans and election interference were well aimed efforts to create favourable regulations and a regulatory that would directly enrich him and enable more shenanigans.

Seen as a corrupt investment, with DOGE data access in the middle, buying an election through Twitter has been directly profitable for Elon with obvious and visible downstream upsides for his financiers partners and collaborators in such shenanigans.
