      While Meloni is a decision maker in power, Musk is “just” a wealthy entrepreneur, albeit influential (with right-wing leanings). Whereas Meloni camp’s repressive policies actually bear the potential to shape people’s fates, Musk’s persona or patents can be purchased, creatively travestied or rejected. To be honest, I fear Cybertrucks or space tourism far less than I do carabinieri or Frontex officers unleashed.

        I meant in the “both are fucking lunatics” sense. But yeah obviously very different kinds of lunatics. I dont know huw much direct control Musk has over the businesses he is involved in, but theoretically he can remote control any tesla car and can shut down access to his satellite internet system to people like the ukranian military. In practice there are probably enough layers in between him and those things.
