I don't see the Elon connection at all? Say what you will about the man, Tesla is certainly a going concern in a way that Theranos never even got close to.

- michaelt 6y agoThe Elon comparison is merely about being a position of relative political strength. Pre-Covid, the narrative around drug companies was all about inflated insulin prices, the opioid epidemic manufactured by the Sackler family, and the profiteering exemplified by the likes of Martin Shkreli. The industry hadn't produced any truly high-profile successes in many years, and promising to reign in their worst excesses and get costs under control was politically popular. Post-Covid, the drug industry are the cavalry heroically saving the day. They're no longer an attractive target for politicians looking to visibly battle the bad guys.
