I'd be more concerned about who the people working for Elon Musk than
Musk himself. Those are the people making the decisions. Is there any
accountability?

Cargo cult government.  The president and his appointees, Musk and his
Musketeers are Dunning-Kruger poster children, tearing around
emulating the rituals of the despised Elite [1].  They have no more
notion of how to operate the government that the deluded Melanesians
had of operating aircraft or airfield towers.  But like the Melanesian
islanders, they're convinced by a charismatic leader that if they
perform the rituals, they'd get cargo -- in this case power and status
rather than tangible goods.

Accountability will come only with the full evolution of the now ongoing
train wreck that will embrace us all.

[1] Viz. people of responsibility that know what they're doing.
