The \u201cX\u201d has long been an obsession of Musk\u2019s, and is his name for an \u201ceverything app\u201d that he has pledged to launch at some point \u2013 with Twitter the likely vehicle. Shortly before buying Twitter in October, Musk described the social media platform as \u201can accelerant to creating X, the everything app\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After taking over Twitter in October last year, Musk folded<\/a> the company into an entity called X Corp, whose parent is X Holdings Corp. This month, the Tesla CEO announced that he was forming a new artificial intelligence company called xAI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elon Musk\u2019s Big Government Grift <\/p>\n\n\n\n

https:\/\/newrepublic.com\/article\/160500\/elon-musks-big-government-grift<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s entirely possible that this carnival barker of a CEO will continue finding crafty ways to extract tax breaks and favorable contracts from government entities for the rest of his career. But we should be alive to the ways in which Musk\u2019s reputation is built on a faulty foundation of borrowed money and worker exploitation. To Musk, the government is only useful in helping to enrich him, and he otherwise expects it to stay the hell out of his way. The problem is that he is now powerful and rich enough to get his wish. For all his supposed brilliance in developing electric vehicles and rockets, this may be his greatest talent: grifting the government. In doing so, he\u2019s creating a roadmap for reform, if politicians care to notice. Jacob Silverman<\/a>  @SilvermanJacob<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
