Yes I think the government is one of the ‘big sponsors’ for him. Even if he dislikes the government 🙄.

I imagine it’s deeeefinitely in their best interests to ‘manage Elon’.

“Sorry Elon we wanted to introduce you to the hardworking rocket scientists, but they hate you and would rather jump off a bridge than be in a room with you. Soooo, we made some nice snacks and joints, and there’s a hot tub you can use too. Doesn’t that sound nicer than belittling people and causing chaos? Yeah? Good? Good. Aww ok you want Ice cream too. Thats ok, just stay away from Mission Control sweety.”
