Robert Reich
who served during Bill Clinton's presidency thinks Elon Musk is out of control and has to be reined in. Writing for the
Guardian
, Reich added that Elon Musk may be the richest man in the world owning X but that doesn't mean "we are powerless to stop him". Reich's opinion piece came as Elon Musk said he would like to join the Donald Trump administration, if he wins.
Similar interest was expressed by Donald Trump.
Elon Musk dropped a one-line reaction to Reich's proposals. "Reich is such a sweety," Elon wrote.
"Evidence is mounting that Russia and other foreign agents are using X to disrupt this year's presidential race, presumably in favor of Trump. Musk has done little to stop them," he wrote.
And then, Reich went on to list six steps that US could take to rein in Musk and it begins with boycotting Tesla.
Reich said consumers should not make him more richer and should boycott buying Tesla, which may have already begun, he said.
On X, Reich said advertisers should double down on Elon.
Referring to the arrest of Telegram CEO Pavel Durov, Reich said
Elon Musk should be threatened
with arrest -- if he does not stop disseminating lies and hate on X.
Elon Musk should be sued under the FTC Act if he does not take down lies that are likely to endanger individuals, Reich proposed.
US should terminate its contracts with him, starting with SpaceX, Reich's 5th proposal to dent Elon Musk read.
The last one is to make sure that Musk's favorite candidate Donald Trump is not elected as the president.
