     @jbhughes @dangillmor The massive contracts that NASA and US DoD have are with SpaceX, not Musk. He could be removed as CEO and SpaceX would be fine under COO Gwynne Shotwell.

     @jbhughes @dangillmor Why X, the former Twitter, and not Truth Social, etc.?

     @EricFielding @dangillmor Well, I'm no genius, and I understand the First Amendment issues, but Truth Social, Gab, etc., seem less pernicious to me than X because backed with less money and having substantially less influence on society.

     @jbhughes @dangillmor The former Twitter has far less influence than Facebook.
