“If Elon Musk ran the GPS system, you’d hear abt it nonstop, valorizing this great man who built something so remarkable and valuable. But since it’s govt invented, owned, and operated, it just works, quietly and without fanfare… that’s…ideology, not so much what you hear about, but what you don’t.”
