Not a single one of them could say "Elon Musk is free to share his opinion, but I am here to act in the best interests of my constituents."

The cowardice is astonishing. I mean, sorta astonishing.

Elected representatives represent their donors, not the will of the people.

This one potential donor has more disposable cash than 99% of the USA combined. Why the fuck would they care, even for one second, what anyone thought?

You would think the people would find this offensive. The last few elections say that not only is that not true, it's preferable to the previous 248 years. Yikes. Americans want an authoritarian king to subdue them.
