Get a kick outa the left screaming Musk might get our pvt info.
Reading headlines over the years it seems everyone but the paperboy has our pvt info already.
At least Musk might not use it to make those twice daily spam calls i get.

For sure I can see it.  I don't know whether Musk is driven by some altruism or just driven to further enrich himself, or some of both.  Maybe he's on a maniacal power trip.  
 
At the very least he has some track record in private industry with Tesla and Space X that you can look at and say that he seems to at least have a token concern about enriching the lives of others and making the world a better place.  More than I can say for most politicians and bureaucrats of my lifetime, whether R or D.  
 
I couldn't say one way or the other if he's trustworthy enough to continue to carry it out for the benefit of America, or if it will prove to be a detriment, or maybe even a catastrophe.  I understand the concern about Musk's power and wealth and the position that he's in.  I understand the unease created by the wrecking ball approach, rather than a collaborative, legislative approach.  I don't think it's ridiculous or even unwarranted to have concerns about it.  
 
Like it or not, Musk IS the oversight now because by bipartisan design there has been very little to none of it and we have a new President who is going to selectively make it happen for his benefit.  Right now it feels very partisan and one sided, but I think there's a good likelihood that as many R's as D's are going to get whacked in the long run.  The alternative is a continued lack of oversight and accountability for both R's and D's because we've seen that a collaborative, legislative approach doesn't work to create accountability and oversight when those collaborating and legislating are the ones that need the oversight and accountability.  
 

Very well stated and pretty much sums up my opinion on it as well. I’d imagine most agree there is a need to eliminate government waste. The direction it is being handled on the surface at least, is a bit concerning. But if handling sensitive material with care, it was likely necessary to have access. It is sort of refreshing in a way that it is finally being addressed though. Decades of talk and no action.
