Yup. He's literally not beholden to anyone. At least Trump, in theory, has to keep his constituents happy enough to avoid losing his party the next election (ignore the fact that they're looking to remove the voting process over the next four years). Musk, however, just needs to buy the next guy, regardless of the outcome for this term. How do you stop a puppeteer with infinite strings? We got a glimpse of that a couple weeks ago.

He’s beholden to Trump. This partnership is not going to last four years.
