I think you may have misunderstood my comment, they're only political opponents in the sense that Musk wants to rally Christie's constituents to push back on this decision, and the battle is over public policy. Of course Musk isn't running. Christie has a lot more to lose by his constituents seeing a bad trend in Christie's record than Musk has by any personal character attacks Christie could send back his way. Musk's job certainly isn't in any danger from bad things coming out about him in NJ.

I really don't think Christie has more to lose. I am sure he could "stick up for the people against the Silicon Valley boy billionaires" in some pretty interesting ways that would spread quickly. I can seen a "electric tax" as step one. After all, rich owners of electric cars should pay for the road like working class gas car owners. I'm sure he and his could come up with something else. The interesting part is how far any "reforms" NJ implements can spread. Politicians love new revenue streams.
