You could be jumping the gun here. Here is an article from New York Post that clarifies Musk's position. I'm not certain if his position changed or if the media was so foaming at the mouth to take him down they ran with the story without bothered to get their facts straight. It is close to what I was hoping it was all along, as posted here. The propaganda machine reacting prematurely to every breath someone takes is not good for the health of this country.
