But in a way, he does though right? Even under Trump, the US is not a dictatorship. Those "resources and money" are to some extent, democratically controlled. Elon's wealth is controlled by just one person.
The Dems may be able to subpoena Elon, but even then, Republicans will be on that committee. And you've seen that the Dems definitely do not all think with one mind.
Individual judges are effectively dictators over their own rulings, so anything that goes to trial will ultimately be ruled on by just one person. But that can be appealed. All the way up to SCOTUS for anything Federal and you know where SCOTUS stands for now.. maybe the Dems will stack it, but even then.. there will STILL be people on SCOTUS who will rule in Elon's favor.
