People are given a lot of information from a lot of sources nowadays, which means they're better at analysing it and weeding out the bullshit(typically).
Your point assumes we're blindly following what they have to say without analysing it.
I can imagine a lot of people aren't. A lot of people may be annoyed with their rights or privacy taken away (SOPA), or laws being changed when it doesn't benefit them (this). At which point, people complain.
If any tech company tried to push a law that didn't benefit the public in an obvious way, I bet most people wouldn't like it.

Or people find the version of the "truth" they most agree with and just go with that. Given the huge industry of politically-charged "news" organizations, I think there's a significant amount of people that are doing this instead (sadly).
- tonyhb 13y agoRight, exactly. People would probably do this whether their "truth" is coming from Musk or a politician, unfortunately.
