I see him make "pedo" commentary and I cringe, but reusable rockets are an enormous achievement. I don't see any compelling reason to buy an electric car, but his execution of the Twitter buyout has revealed biased regulation in the extreme, perhaps by illegal proxy from the FBI.
These are important questions, and he has admitted that he is under stress and not completely stable.
I'm not sure what to think.
Look, all Musk needs to do is stop digging.
Lots of people underneath him want to keep their nice, cushy, well-paying jobs and would do what needs to be done to keep the companies on an even keel.
If Musk could just sit down and shut the fuck up, things would start self-righting.
But he can't. Because of who he is.
The problem is... does he think he is doing so with every action that he takes?
He owes allegiance to the Chinese for Gigafactory Shanghai, the Saudis for Twitter, the US DoD for SpaceX, the Russians for industrial inputs. And they all want very different things.
Then he gets goaded into buying Twitter in a botched attempt to manipulate its stock price, can't back out, and ultimately ties up a large percentage of his wealth in it.
Now he's having to play private equity turnaround while all of the metrics are going down and to the right.
I feel kind of sorry for him, but he brought it on himself.
I haven't seen this; what does it refer to?
The House of Representatives controls the money for the FBI. The Senate, as you might know does not.
The FBI should be anticipating a haircut.

Jack Dorsey can certainly be prosecuted for perjury.

Unfortunately, I think neither of the scenarios you described are likely. The House proposes funding bills, it's true, but those bills don't pass without Senate and presidential sign-off. Similarly, if somebody lies to congress, Congress can refer them to the justice department, but it's the executive branch that would execute the prosecution. Even if one could pin Dorsey on a specific lie (and it would be really easy for him to claim that they don't silence conservative voices, just their perception of unfactual information), I doubt it's expedient for this administration to press the issue.
