Since the elections, Musk has become the second most prominent figure in US politics. Most political experts and the media wonder how and why this happened. His progressive enemies have an easy explanation: Musk is just doing business.

The federal government has awarded contracts to Musk's businesses. SpaceX has surpassed Boeing as a key contractor and now controls Nasa's rocket launch schedule. He is also the Department of Defense's go-to guy for satellites.

Do you think the US government should allow Musk to continue meddling with politics?
