While the premise is good and explains a lot of failures, I the Musk example is misplaced. Musk bought Twitter. And then he succeeded - Trump became elected and he became his right hand. Is it, for Musk, a failure? Sure, it is not 4D chess. It is just "some people lie as a tool to get their goals". The same way when politicians introduce surveillance to "protect children" and it makes children less, it is not a failure. It is a win - more control, and more fuel for further campaigns.
