Some part of me believes that Musk leaving a board like this is cutting off the nose to spite the face.
I don't believe that this administration is redeemable, but I also believe that these advisory boards, and the Federal bureaucracy in general might also slow the administration down.
Power players leaving whittles away at the strength of that barrier slowing that tide. What is the alternative for Musk et al. if they opt out of this type of public service?
- wcummings 9y agoNo point in advising someone who doesn't listen. All it does is hurt Musk's reputation.
- anigbrowl 9y agoPower players leaving also undercuts the administration's credibility and lets them devote their energy to opposing it form the outside. Musk gave it a good-faith effort, and I think he's wise to quit, since staying in could do significant damage to his own corporate goals.
- grandalf 9y agoExactly. Trump just took steps that benefit the incumbent auto industry Musk is trying to disrupt.
