This one goes up to Biden... nominal reason he refuses to acknowledge Tesla in EV revolution is it being non-union, but that seems a disproportionate response. It's like ignoring Sputnik in the history of space exploration because it was a Russian accomplishment.

Reminded of Kevin Spacey line in House of Cards, "he chose money over power, in this town a mistake nearly everybody makes." Career politicians can feel superior to career business leaders because they think they chose power over money... except people like Elon have both 😵‍💫

The only other single person capable of sparking a derangement syndrome on my list is Trump (AOC was almost getting there but then blew it). Elon is very like Trump in a few ways (fortunately none that I care about). But the big one is not sticking to others' idea of "his lane"
