Or… heart me out, maybe it’s because Elon knows they have the most to loose and are thus more likely to do whatever he wants to not get kicked out of the country. Elon made some statements that made his disdain for the “laptop class” quite clear. He is no saint, or genius. He’s mostly just an extremely ruthless smart man.

Sure, that is also a possible (even likely) explanation. As I said, I don't defend Musk - my opinion of him is quite low and is getting lower and lower. Just wanted to point out the trouble with the argument. Anyway.
He has finally showed the world his true self. I am happy about that - I don't want another capitalist sanctified for being a genius, which he is not. The more this becomes clearer the better for everyone.
