How about the last scrap of pretense at democratic rule of law? Just because someone you do not like is on the receiving end, you should not applaud the authoritarian government.
Care to expand on this?
Genuinely asking how Elon Musk unilaterally defying a unanimous court order is losing the “last scrap of pretense at democratic rule of law.” Seems like more of the same old oligarchy games like it always has been.
When I first learned about it, it kind of seems like school bullying or something criminal. "Give me 50000 if you want to keep operating". It's kind of funny, but it is also kind of sad. Anyway, the decision has it geopolitical importance.
