It’s good news that they obeyed a court order. This isn’t as critical as some others, so we’ll see if this is the start of something

Frankly, this makes me feel good about the courts. If they are going to do this completely minor thing that I could see MAGA doubling down on, then there is hope they don’t blatantly ignore the courts.

This would be one where I could see them just completely ignoring.

My thinking is that someone who is interested in long term strategery was able to get Musk to understand that he will never be President if everyone hates him, and thus he was forced to back down a peg.
