I strongly disagree with Elon Musk's attempts to undermine government authorities and recruit young engineers into his sphere of influence. His statements dismissing the importance of higher education and calling college "an obselete terminal" are misguided and irresponsible. The government plays a vital role in regulating industries and protecting public interests that private corporations like Musk's Tesla and SpaceX cannot oversee themselves. We must prevent the further consolidation of power in the hands of wealthy tech moguls like Musk who seem to have disdain for democratic institutions. For the sake of our country's future, his growing influence over our brightest young minds must be checked before more damage is done.
