Musk may be on the side of government regulators in the future. Former President Trump has expressed his intention to appoint Musk to head the "Government Efficiency Commission" if he returns to the White House in the November presidential election. The commission would audit the internal performance and finances of the federal government. Musk has said he would like to take the position "without title or compensation."
The SpaceX-FAA dispute may be the core reason for Musk's interest in "government efficiency." "We are unfortunately facing the reality that preparing government paperwork for launch authorization takes longer than designing and manufacturing the hardware, which directly impedes America's position as a space leader," SpaceX said in a lengthy blog post criticizing the FAA's launch delays.
It's not uncommon for major companies to tussle with regulators. But Musk has shown a fierce fighting spirit with his nearly 200 million followers on X and his incendiary rhetoric, and for some time now he has been launching constant attacks through a series of posts on X and letters to Congress.

Elon Musk, the businessman who leads electric vehicle (EV) giant Tesla, will be participating for the first time in the election rally of former Republican President Trump on the 5th in Butler, Pennsylvania, in the eastern United States. Since officially announcing his support for Trump in July this year, Musk has been deepening his involvement in the election campaign by disseminating information that is a mixture of fact and fiction, using the influence of his Twitter account, X.
Musk describes himself as a "moderate Democratic supporter." He supported the Democratic Party in past presidential elections and even lined up for six hours to shake hands with former President Obama. Tesla has benefited from the Biden administration's promotion of EVs, including tax deductions for consumers, but is at odds with the Biden administration's stance on labor unions. Musk announced his support for the Republican Party in the 2022 midterm elections.
This year, Musk has expanded his criticism of President Biden's concerns about the elderly and immigration policies on X, and has strengthened his support for Trump. He is particularly hostile towards the promotion of "diversity, equity, and inclusion" (DEI), which is a priority for the Democratic Party. He has also said that one of his children is transgender, and that the gender he identifies with is different from the gender he was assigned at birth, which he blames on a "consciousness virus."
On the other hand, Musk has remained steadfast in his desire for a society that maximizes individual freedom and minimizes government regulation. His acquisition of Twitter in 2022 was also under the pretext of "protecting freedom of speech."

Elon Musk (53), a businessman and billionaire who supports former Republican President Trump in the US presidential election on November 5th, has begun a signature campaign in support of "freedom of speech and the right to bear guns" in seven states where the race is close. He will pay a reward of $47 (approximately 7,000 yen) to anyone who introduces a signer.
He has also begun recruiting voter registration and canvassers to encourage people to cast ballots, offering them an hourly wage of $30. As the election race draws to a close, he is using money to back up Trump's election campaign with illegal methods.
These activities are thought to be aimed at increasing people's desire to vote for Trump. Under US federal law, it is prohibited to give or receive money in exchange for voting or registering to vote.

Brazil's Supreme Court has said it is lifting a ban on the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter.
In his decision, Justice Alexandre de Moraes said that he authorised the "immediate return" of X's activities in the country after it paid hefty fines and blocked accounts accused of spreading misinformation.
According to a statement, the site has paid fines totalling 28 million reais ($5.1m; £3.8m) and agreed to appoint a local representative, as required by Brazilian law.
Moraes had blocked access to the platform, owned by Elon Musk, after it had refused to ban several profiles deemed by the government to be spreading misinformation about the 2022 Brazilian Presidential election.
Anatel, Brazil's telecoms watchdog, has been instructed to ensure service has resumed for more than 20 million users in the country within 24 hours.

Last July, X launched a system to distribute advertising revenue to users who met certain conditions based on the number of views (impressions). However, this system was abused by users who repeatedly posted meaningless content or spread false information in order to increase views.
These users are called "impression zombies" and became a problem after the Noto Peninsula earthquake in January, as they hindered the spread of useful information. It is believed that the number of posts aimed at increasing views will decrease after November 8th.
Since being acquired by American businessman Elon Musk, X's advertising revenue has decreased and its business has deteriorated. It is believed that the aim of changing the revenue distribution system is to increase the number of paid members and develop it into an alternative source of revenue to advertising.
