The point is: It WAS an existential risk for #musk company BEFORE his #grok was working and WHILE slowing down #competition by #regulations was helping him to improve his company's standing.

NOW, with his #attacks on federal administrations and institutions it's not a threat, but a tool for him to gain more #influence, extract more money from #tax payers and redirect it into his #purse.

If they extended that Property Tax to cover land at the same rate, they could all but wipe out Local Authority deficits.
