Musk is a bad #GAN. He moots things that have the approximate shape of policy (e.g. an illegal forced opt-in to surveillance ads) and then we are supposed to act as #discerners who either lionize or mock that plan.
It's likely that his own senior staff despair of getting him to listen to expert advice, so they leak these policy-esque statements in the hopes that the press will assemble legions of legal experts to go on record about how foolish and dangerous his latest wild hair is.
These experts either convince Musk that he's wrong (but allow him to save face by announcing that he's changed his mind on his own), or they alarm Musk's creditors, who call him up and shout at him.
