I go with the assumption that Elon is controlled opposition. He has significant influence, and even if at the surface his intention may not seem bad, I can't help but feel something weird is up with that guy.

Word on the street is that X is supposed to become the western WeChat. "Oh you posted something the government doesn't like? You can't use your Tesla for a week"

"If we want to beat China we have to become China" mentality. These changes happen in slow increments, often disguised as positive changes.
