There were a dozen companies that applied for the grant. Musk won by over promising.

Not just that, he used star link to manage international relations by suddenly stopping service for Ukraine.

He's a "free speech abolitionist" and egotistical megalomaniac that's willing lie about deliverables and take illegal actions because there's been no punishment.

If you are expanding the deep state to include regulatory bodies, you are just talking about the state.

Can you provide an instance of the state ever hiding the fact that they regulate businesses, or did you just find out that was one of their powers?

I think I misunderstood you the first time. I thought you were a musk fan boy claiming the regulators themselves were the deepstate.
