    . Because I’ve been repeatedly told by libertarian types (not socialists or communists) that any government regulation is not capitalism

    Found your problem. That’s like asking flat earthers about gravity. They may think it exists but their concept of it is a fiction meant to align to their worldview.

      Musk himself tends to identify with libertarianism; we can still critique him from his own standards without accepting them outright.

        Well sure but that just makes him more wrong, not libertarians more credible.
