Good points! Although I feel like I may be out of the loop on some of the discussion/mention of archive.org stuff, which likely speaks to me being out of it more broadly regarding discussions of other related materials.

Kind of surprised there aren’t more comments along these lines. This was floating around the back of my head as much as some of the other responses.

I mostly agree, and it’s the secondary part, the lack of punishment/consequences that led to asking this question. If the criticism is ineffective at persuading others toward your views, does it outweigh whatever attention/awareness it’s giving the subject?

Given their rampant disregard for the law as-is, what’s stopping Trump from kicking Musk out and just taking his money/assets? Is that somehow too flagrant?
