With respect, I think you overreached quite a bit calling Musk and Ramaswamy “billionaire tech visionaries with proven track records of reinventing industries & disrupting powerful bureaucracies.”

While both are unquestionably highly successful businessmen, and calling them “billionaire tech visionaries” is reasonably accurate, I see no evidence that either has “reinvented” an industry or disrupted a “powerful bureaucracy.”

Identifying and capitalizing on a new opportunity within an industry is not “reinventing” it unless the rest of the industry adopts that innovation or fails to adopt it and disappears. Neither of these men did that.

As for “disrupting a powerful bureaucracy,” I see zero evidence in either man’s bio that supports such a claim.

I'm not sure that receiving billions of dollars in federal contracts goes along with "disrupting powerful bureaucracies"
