Fair enough. I think the point is that’s not power. Not hard power or real power anyway. It’s soft power, it’s influence. But not much more.

- affinepplan 2y agoI think it is hard power. and also note they had write access, not just read. so if Musk wanted to he could have just straight up deleted all the data. that is real power.
- slashdev 2y agoThat’s just somebody at the treasury being a moron. You defined power as soft power and now you want to say actually it’s hard power. It’s not. They can’t give anyone orders and impose consequences for not following them. That’s what hard power is.
- affinepplan 2y ago> they can’t give anyone orders and impose consequences for not following them well, they also demonstrably did this? but I'm pretty done with this "conversation"
