    Why is this in c/politics?

    Well, for one, musk’s connections to trump and his role in eviscerating good works from the government are well-known.

    Additionally, musk continues to infect political movements across the globe.

    Secondly, as the article states very well, the corporate news media is incapable of stating plain truths like “The SpaceX IPO is an enormous boondoggle that will financially harm millions of people who don’t know anything about it.”

    Thirdly, it makes some excellent points about the nature of “business journalism”, ostensibly the more fact-based reporting we’re likely to see of the wheels of the modern economy.

    That’s why.
