Yay, but some will not comprehend your logic. Truly free markets run themselves set realistic price levels to support both availability and profitability.

The true sickness in the country is the gimme attitude, that people feel they are owed $3/gallon gas. Try Europe on for size, where they pay real prices for gasoline.

And Musk, he gets nothing from the government, he almost went broke starting up Space-x and Tesla, then again with Twitter. He invests his own profits back into new businesses and puts it all on the line. His motivation is the betterment of humanity, he believes in an electrical future sans oil, like JHK, and is trying to push technology in that direction with Tesla. he believes that to continue growing, humans need to be interplanetary, hence Space-x. He believes in a truly free, unbiased media, hence “X”. He developed Open AI and quit it when it refused to limit the power of AI. He developed the software that we use today in MAPS and GPS. He developed PAYPAL. He is developing robots with AI control integral to their software.

His Biography shows how he develops and uses people. Some are marvelous like the head of Space-x, a woman BTW, and some cannot put up with his drive.

BTW, X, his son is great.

Did you see that an asteroid that is turning towards earth than was detected recently was identified. It is his Tesla roadster he sent into solar orbit.

Have you seen what Tesla is up to? RVs, Semis, Model 2s at $20000, roof shingles that are solar, Battery technology advancements, Fully electric small and tiny houses. If LA is really serious about rebuilding environmentally correct, Musk is going to double the 250 billion he controls now. THAT is America, If you are hard working, he is, and innovative and willing to take risks to change things, you make out.

Then there are the Haters and Gimmes.

One more thought, the great pariah of the AGW crowd, Trump, is being influenced heavily by Musk and his electric future. That should be interesting in the future.

Energy is free, Tesla (Nikola, not the car) knew that a long time ago. What about everything wireless? Phones, computers, printers, cameras, garage door openers, TeeVees, anything wireless today, how do they work? The secret is harnessing it.

Tesla knew how, but we (meaning the people) don't yet. TPTB do, they have Tesla's notes and research. Think they're worried about powering up their remote compounds? Hardly.

In the contemporary battle at the time, for electricity distribution, the Rockefeller money went to Edison, so a wire could go to every house on the planet, and receipt of a monthly check in perpetuity.

Damnit, it's January 30th, my electric bill is due tomorrow!
