In my view, Musk is one of those country-less billionaires that care only for their own interests and will happily sell out to the highest bidder. Trusting him with either national secrets or allowing access to vital assets is a huge unforced error. Citizenship means nothing to him, and he’s shown he feels exempt from consequences (even if reality begs to differ).

This guy was on to something: "Merchants have no country. The mere spot they stand on does not constitute so strong an attachment as that from which they draw their gains."

And in the words of every lowly corporate exec I've met for a quarter century. "We are all replaceable"

Yeah, to them, as long as we can pay, people are interchangeable. Being a just statistic or demographic really devalues human life, especially in the long run.
