Raw Story: WSJ editorial warns Elon Musk's 'blow-it-all-up' ideas will devastate U.S. economy [View all]

The board argued, "Our concern isn't personalities so much as Mr. Musk's apparent belief in economic-policy disruption for its own sake. Treasury isn't the Education Department, or Defense, and financial markets don't want to trade one form of policy uncertainty for another. Steady and knowledgeable economic policy hands are needed if Mr. Trump wants to succeed."

In short, the WSJ's editorial board is saying feel free to fuck up the entire federal govt, but do not fuck with our money.
