Elon, for all his bluster, built an industry with the goal of getting humanity to Mars. Recently, he's sold off his mansions as being unneeded excess. There's no end to charitable work that can use the funds. He could lobby for affordable housing in San Fran, fighting all those "nimby" interests. He could lobby against the military industrial complex, against the revolving door between Wall Street and the White House, for clean energy, for non-GMO natural foods (and against Bill Gates's soylent projects). You know, stuff like that. He'd only need to pick one to make a difference. Or maybe... Lobby for the destruction of the engagement algorithms. Granted, this would make a great many powerful people very angry, and they'd turn on him like sharks on a wounded school-mate, but it would be more honorable than complaining after the massive payday.
