    Why does Elon musk even have an approval rating? Using the tools, metrics, and terminology of standard politics only legitimizes his illegitimate occupation.

      He’s not an elected official. He shouldn’t have an approval rating fs.

        That also means he can actually be held criminally responsible for the damage he does, right?

        He has no “protection of office” as it were?

          the people in charge of our criminal justice system will do nothing. Also even in office there should be no “protection of office”. That’s just some bullshit.
